I don't want to get over you (Lyrics by the Magnetic Fields)

I don't want to get over you. 

I guess I could take a sleeping pill and sleep at will and not have to go through what I go through. 

I guess I should take Prozac, right, and just smile all night at somebody new, somebody not too bright but sweet and kind who would  try to get you off my mind. 

I could leave this agony behind, which is just what I'd do if I wanted to, but I don't want to get over you. Cause I don't want to get over love. 


I could listen to my therapist, pretend you don't exist, and not have to dream of what I dream of.

I could listen to all my friends and go out again and pretend it's enough.

Or I could make a career of being blue -I could dress in black and read Camus, smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth like I was 17, that would be a scream. 

But I don't want to get over you.
