Since I Told You It's Over Lyrics

Black and blue from the wind and the rain
Said I'm sorry for the lies and the pain
I never ever meant to make you cry
If I could take you back, you know, I would,
I wanna burn up and die

So take a look at me now
Since I told you it's over
You got a hole in your heart
I'll find a four leaf clover
You can't tell me this now
This far down the line
That you're never, ever gonna get over me

You've seen a cross, it's a cross I bear
You're drinking, hard up, living without a hope or a care
You're making do to please, see what makes you smile
You're not around for long, you gotta see what's gonna move your life right along

I'm lost
I'm cold
I'm getting old
My head is filled with lies I told

I've been down
I've been around
But I've fallen on my own two feet
And I've left you out to drown
I never meant for that

I look around, sometimes I stare
I think back now and then, I hope you know I care
I walked away that day, trying to treat you right
But you were on your track, it was me turning back, I left you freezing outside

But you were on your track, it was me turning back, I left you freezing outside

So take a look at me now
Since I told you it's over
You got a hole in your heart
I'll find a four leaf clover
You can't tell me this now
This far down the line [to fade]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

finding a four leaf clover signifies good luck - its a proverb going back to garden of eden i think - so in the context of the song its the contrast and thus guilt that while one person has a hole in their heart the other seems to have had good luck

The four leaf clover line refers to luck..he got lucky in life and she was still heartbroken for him...its basically the same as the line..Fallen on my own 2 feet and left you out to drown..I think he is talking about someone he was involved with before he made it big with the band, but thats just my opinion..like his life changed for the better and he felt like he left her behind with a hole in her heart.

Do not listen to it if your bf (who happends to be a huge stereophonics's fan) breaks up with you !

Such a heartbreaking song, specially the: you can't tell me this now, this far down the line, that you never ever gonna get over me ♪

i was thinking '' you got a hole in your heart, i will find you a four leaf clover'' means he wants to do something to cover her hole in her heart.

I love this song so much. I am a HUGE fan of Stereophonics! This song, to me, describes how he has just broken up with his girlfriend and he is sorry because she still loves him and feels heartbroken.

'' you got a hole in your heart, i will find you a four leaf clover'' - I reckon this is that he feels guilty that she 'has a hole in her heart' and he doesnt know what to say to her saying this. So he just says something random.

Once again great song and perfectly describes what im going through at the moment. I love it. I love it. I love it.
