King Of Wishful Thinking

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

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 want to let you see.. 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

I'll be the king of wishful thinkin'

Buy me a drink and I'm honest like Abe Lincoln

It started out real casual but gradually

He became everything to me

Oh yea, we had our problems

Thought we'd try to solve 'em

Maybe take a break or two and try to call him again

But baby be gone

Now I wonder how long it's gonna take to move on

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
