The King of Wishful Thinking

I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I won't miss the way that you kiss me
I'll get over you, I know I will
I'll get over you, I know I will
'Cause I've got no more tears for you
That's not how it's gonna be

I'll pretend my heart's still beating
I don't wanna let you see, no

If I don't listen to the talk of the town
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
If I don't listen to the talk of the town
I'll get over you, I know I will
I am the king of wishful thinking

I'll get over you, I know I will
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
I'll get over you, I know I will
I'll be the king of wishful thinking
Then maybe I can fool myself

You made a hole in my heart
We were never carved in stone

Then maybe I can fool myself
I refuse to give into my blues
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
I'm the king of wishful thinking
I'll get over you, I know I will
I'll get over you, I know I will
(King of wishful thinking)
But I won't shed a tear for you

(King of wishful thinking)
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
And I'll tell myself, I'm over you

And I'll tell myself I'm over you
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
'Cause I'm the king of wishful thinking
And I'll tell myself I'm over you
And I deny the tears in my eyes

I will never, never shed a tear for you
I'm the king of wishful thinking
I'll pretend my ship's not sinking
You made a hole in my heart
That you have made a hole in my heart
And now I've got to fool myself
(King of wishful thinking)
I'll get over you, I know I will
