This is a song about someone thinking they are over somebody, and then realizing that some thing you don't get over. It's a very powerful and touching song. When Cheryl played it for the first time, she was surprised by how well the audience responded to it. One person in the audience put it on the level of Aces and Arrow.
Cheryl originally considered "Some Things You Don't Get Over" for the title, but when she sent me the lyrics, this was the title she listed. When Cheryl's manager later sent me a list of what songs were going to be on Sylvia Hotel, he used the old title. That's what makes keeping track of Cheryl's titles so interesting.

- I can go through the motions, sometimes I swear I'm ok.
- Sure I miss you, but I've been really movin', really turnin' away.
- But just when I thought the heartache was gone,
- It's tapping me on the shoulder.
- Saying who are you foolin'?
- Some things you just don't get over.
- I could write you a letter, and I always do in my head.
- Just to tell you I'm better and this lonely didn't kill me I guess.
- But just when I know I've finally let go,
- I dream you are so much closer.
- Oh who am I foolin?
- Some things you just don't get over.
- I'm wearin' a new face, a little insane,
- And here in the old place nothin's the same.
- I'm waiting for winter, it always seems warmer somehow.
- It's the sun on the snowfall and the silence I am longing for now.
- But with one backward glance, I won't stand a chance,
- So I'll wave goodbye over my shoulder.
- Yeah who am I foolin?
- Somethings you just don't get over.
