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 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)

Ooh 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



Now 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 ooh-ooh

And I'll tell myself I'm over you

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

(King of wishful thinking) yeah ooh



If I ever get a chance I'll get over you

(I know I will)



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 (I'm over you)

'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking

(King of wishful thinking)

I am 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 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 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
