Lyrics

Overcoming Me

Overcoming me
I just can't help it and it must be plain to see
Why would I fight it? No, I'm gonna let it be
I kinda love the way you're overcoming me

I walk around with my head down
I walk around looking at the ground
Darling, I look like a rag doll
I wonder if she's really gonna call
I make believe you wanna see me
I make believe you really care
I'm such a fool

I take it in and oh, I take it all
You can get me up or you can make me fall
Fall down to the dirty ground
Dirty boy, take a look around
I really gotta get my shit together
I really thought it was forever
I'm such a fool

Overcoming me
I just can't help it and it must be plain to see
Why would I fight it? No, I'm gonna let it be
I kinda love the way you're overcoming me
I still can't get enough of you
I know it's wrong, I know it's true
What can I say? What can I do?
How can I forget about you?
I mean I gave you all my love
