I was clinging to the very thing
That held me down
Then I fell in love
With the beast that kicked me around
I was defending the criminal that killed me
I was biting the hand that held me

Chorus
I must admit, I couldn’t wait
To see the look in your eyes
When we said goodbye
You know you’d been asking for it
Since the day that you decided to live a lie
Now that it’s over, I see the light
Now that it’s over, I free my mind
Nothing is colder than the look in your eyes
Now that it’s over

I was fighting for the king that imprisoned me
Whoa I was entertaining
The people who hated me

Chorus

Now that it’s over, now that it’s over (repeat)
Now that it’s over, I see the light
Now that it’s over, I free my mind
Nothing is colder than the look in your eyes
Now that it’s over, now that it’s over
Now that it’s over
Now that it’s over, now that it’s over

Behind the Song:
“Just about every believer can identify with having dated a non-believer. In our spiritual immaturity we can sometimes be drawn romantically to someone who needs Jesus. Make no mistake, this is codependency at its finest. And experience like this will afford you nothing save perspective on why it simply cannot work. Don’t get me wrong, God can do anything. But you’ll be much better off avoiding a scenario where you’re trying to win your boy/girlfriend to Christ. This song was a metaphoric attempt to show the futility of trying to have a relationship without an agreement of faith.” – Shawn Lewis (HyperStatic Union)
