[Verse 1]
My mind does not do what it ought
My absolutions you disarm
Now inclined your way, are my thoughts
And thinking can't do any harm
Except, of course, it does a great deal
Rising guilt and unwanted cliques
Imagining what can never be real
Oh, how each fantasy betrays
[Chorus 1]
I need to get you out of my head
You're not going to be mine
And that's all that needs to be said
My feelings, I have to redefine
But my thoughts, I can't subdue
I keep going back, thinking about you
[Verse 2]
To get this over with
To get this done
I want to end this forthwith
Need to finish it, now I've begun
But for that I need to relive
Every bittersweet memory
Finding ways, so myself I can forgive
These poems and songs as therapy
[Bridge]
Remembering those sweet attractions
Now looking for any distractions
From myself, please be my saviour
Such embarrassing behaviour
Only when you're around
In tiny moments so profound
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
I need to get you off my mind
I need to get you out of my head
We'll never again be intertwined
And that's all that needs to be said
But my thoughts refuse to be withdrew
I can't help going back, thinking about you
I keep going back, thinking about you
I can't help going back, thinking about you
I need to stop, stop thinking about you
