What If I Never Get Over You Lyrics
It's supposed to hurt, it's a broken heart
But to movin' on is the hardest part
It comes in waves, the letting go
But the memory fades, everybody knows
Everybody knows
[Chorus: Charles Kelly & Hillary Scott]
What if I'm tryin', but then I close my eyes
And then I'm right back, lost in that last goodbye?
And what if time doesn't do what it's supposed to do?
What if I never get over you?
[Verse 2: Hillary Scott & Charles Kelly]
Maybe months go by, maybe years from now
And I meet someone and it's workin' out
Every now and then, he can see right through
'Cause when I look at him
Yeah, all I see is you
[Chorus: Charles Kelly & Hillary Scott]
What if I'm tryin', but then I close my eyes
And then I'm right back, lost in that last goodbye?
And what if time doesn't do what it's supposed to do?
What if I never get over you?
Ooh yeah
What if I never get over?
What if I never get closure?
What if I never get back all the wasted words I told ya?
What if it never gets better?
What if this lasts forever and ever and ever?
[Chorus: Charles Kelly & Hillary Scott, Hillary Scott & Charles Kelly]
I'm tryin', but then I close my eyes
And then I'm right back, lost in that last goodbye
And what if time doesn't do what it's supposed to do?
What if I never get over you?
What if I gave you (What if I gave you) everything I got?
What if your love was my one and only shot?
What if I end up with nothing to compare it to
What if I never get over? Oh, if I never get over
What if I never get over you?
[Outro: Hillary Scott, Charles Kelly & Both]
What if I never get over you?
Oh, what if I never get over?
Over you

So, ‘What If I Never Get Over You’ is definitely about that feeling – I think right after you break up, there’s that moment that whether you were the one that did the breaking up or got broken up with, that you wonder if you’ll ever find that same connection and love. And I know I felt like that before. Before I met [my wife] Cassie, I had a longtime girlfriend, and I mean, it was years of feeling that, ‘Am I ever gonna find anyone like her? Was that the one?‘ I think that’s why it is kind of a universal message. and that’s what this is about.

Thinking about putting any of the other songs that we cut out before this one just didn’t feel right. It’s been so many years since we released a mid-tempo, longing, heartbreak duet that really we love and is so much a part of who we are as a band and how we started.
