He has moved on past the pain of rejection and she has realised that she made a mistake...
Lyrics
The Edge Of Getting Over
1.
Hey, ita€™s been a while since I last saw you,
Ia€™ve got to say youa€™re looking pretty well
Me? I guess Ia€™m looking weary
But thata€™s a story I choose not to tell
2.
Ita€™s a nice day; leta€™s walk in the garden
Stay right there, I will come outside
Ia€™ll close the door if I may beg your pardon
I just cana€™t bear the thought of you inside
Chorus:
a€˜Cause Ia€™m just on the edge of getting over
Ia€™m waiting for the scars to fail and fade
Ia€™m glad youa€™re here a€˜cause I wanted to tell you
I dona€™t hold you to the promises you made
I wona€™t hold you to the promises you made
3.
A while ago I sat here contemplating
Just looking at the flowers in the rain
How they bent with all the water on their petals
And when it stopped how they sprang back again
4.
Ia€™ve never quite thought myself a flower
But Ia€™ve learned in life to learn from what you see
I refused to be broken by your leaving
Now I thank you for the love you gave to me
Chorus:
a€˜Cause Ia€™m just on the edge of getting over
Ia€™m waiting for the scars to fail and fade
Ia€™m glad youa€™re here a€˜cause I wanted to tell you
I dona€™t hold you to the promises you made
I wona€™t hold you to the promises you made
Bridge:
Seeing you again is confirmation
I feel real sad but I dona€™t feel much pain
Take all the love Ia€™ve left to guide you homeward
Now I think Ia€™ll go inside before it rains
Chorus:
a€˜Cause Ia€™m just on the edge of getting over
Ia€™m waiting for the scars to fail and fade
Ia€™m glad youa€™re here a€˜cause I wanted to tell you
I dona€™t hold you to the promises you made
I wona€™t hold you to the promises you made
I release you from the promises you made
