Lyrics:

I don't need to fall at your feet
Just 'cause you've cut me to the bone
And I won't miss the way that you kiss me
We were never carved in stone

If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Maybe I can fool myself

I'll get over you
I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
(King of wishful thinking)
I am the king of wishful thinking

I refuse to give into my blues
That's not how it's gonna be
And I deny the tears in my eyes
I don't want to let you see, no, no

That you have made a hole in my heart
And now I've got to fool myself

I'll get over you
I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

I'll get over you
I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
(King of wishful thinking), yeah

Oh, I'll never, never, never shed a tear for you
I'll get over you
I know I will

If I don't listen to the talk of the town
Then maybe I can fool myself

I'll get over you
I know I will
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
(King of wishful thinking)
I'm the king of wishful thinking

I'll get over you
I know I will
You made a hole in my heart
But I won't shed a tear for you
I'll be the king of wishful thinking

I'll get over you (over you)
I know I will
I'll pretend my heart's still beating
'Cause I've got no more tears for you
I'm the king of wishful thinking

I'll get over you (over you)
I know I will
You made a hole in my heart
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
