“I’m Over You” a perfect song after getting over someone. Not after a breakup, but after getting over your breakup. The most difficult part of being with someone is how you are going to put back yourself together. Of course, you will miss that person, because they have been a part of your life. Then suddenly they’re gone and you have to change everything.

All of that is what makes breaking up with someone one of the worst feelings in the world. However, the best part of it is when you eventually get over that person. You feel like you are better than before. You feel happy, different and ready to finally go on with your life, with nothing holding you back anymore. And when you see that person who broke your heart a long time ago, at least you don’t have to feel angry or sad, because you are finally over them.

“I’m Over You,” The Content

The song “I’m Over You” is about a man who tries to tell his ex-lover that he is not into her anymore. That even though he may not seem good or that he drinks more than usual, it doesn’t mean that he is still in love with her. Some people just drink a lot or they don’t like fixing themselves most of the time, but it doesn’t mean that they are going through something or that they are broken-hearted. He also reminded his ex-lover that whatever stories she heard about him of not being over her yet is not true. The best part of the song is this:

“Where there’s a cloud, don’t mean there’s rain.

Tears in my eyes, don’t mean there’s pain.”
