King of Wishful Thinking lyrics

I don't need to fall at your feet

Just 'cause you 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,

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 am the king of wishful thinking

I refuse to give in to my blues

That's not how it's going to be

And I deny the tears in my eyes

I don't wanna 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'm the king of wishful thinking)

Well no, I will never, never shed a tear for you

I'll get over you, I know I will

But I won't shed a tear for you

I'll be the king of wishful thinking

I'll get 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
