Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
Yeah,I can't shake it, no

I can't wait to see you
want to see if you still got that
Look in your eye
That one you had for me
Before we said our goodbyes
And it's a shame that we
Gotta spend our time
Being mad about the same things
Over and over again
About the same thing
Over and over again

Oh but I think she's leaving on
And she's leaving here
And I don't know what else to do
(Can't go on not loving you)

Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
I can't shake it, no

I remember the day you left
I remember the last breath
You took right in front of me
When you said that you would leave
I was too damn stubborn to try to stop you
Or say anything
But I see clearly now
And this choice I made keeps
Playing in my head
Over and over again
It play in my head
Over and over again

Oh but I think she's leaving on
And she's leaving here
And I don't know what else to do
(Can't go on not loving you)

Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
I can't shake it, no

Now that I realize
That I'm going down
From all this pain you
Put me through
Every time I close my eyes
I lock it down
Oh, I can't go on not loving you

Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
I can't shake it, no

Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
I can't shake it, no

    General Comment:This song is actually pretty awesome. Tim and Nelly really do a great duet. It seems to me like this song is about a painful break up. The reasons for the break up are not clear so it could be anything. He may be unable to see his girl with another man after they broke up. But it could also be that they broke up because she cheated and he could not get the images of the infidelity out of his thoughts and that was the reason they broke up. The lyrics, "Now that I’ve realizes that I’m going down, From all this pain you’ve put me through, Every time I close my eyes I lock it down ? I can’t go on not loving you." seem to indicate that there was already a lot of pain before they said their goodbyes. He still loves her but can't get those images from replaying in his mind so they ultimately led to the break up. But like every song, the only way you would know for sure is to get into the head of the songwriter. But this song could mean a whole bunch of different things. It is clear that it was a painful break up and he can't get past letting her go.

    My Interpretation:I hate this,
    Me & my boyfriend had been finished for like 5 months & we still talk thank god.

    But I was still head over heels for him & he was moving on, but he still wanted me in his life as a friend which I suppose is better than nothing.

    & then one day out of the blue like 7 months after we'd finished he starts a new relationship with some girl :/ just picturing him holding her the way he held me makes me feel sick.

    It makes me feel more sick that it's all really my fault we finished
    'I remember the day you left, I remember the last breath you took right infront of me'
    Even though iv'e saw him as friends since the break up, I can only imagine the sadness in his eyes when he was walking away after that final argument :/

    'Cant wait to see you, wanna see if you've still got that look in your eyes
    That one you had for me, before we said are goodbyes'
    I always hope that if I ever get the chance to be alone with him again that I can somehow remind him of are time together.

    God, this song's so bittersweet right now!
    & I have to agree, who'd of thought country & r&b could come together so effortlessly.

    General Comment:hey everyone first off i use to be a huge rap fan but i got out of it and got into rock but be 4 i stopped liking rap this song came out and i never rly thought i'd relate to this song but me and my g/f of 7 months broke up a week 2day and she tried to get us to be friends but i kept telling her i couldn't just be her friend that i still love her and i still do but know were doing this not talkiong thing 2 see if we can still be friends but i just keep thinking over and over again about all the good times we had and how happy we were so i can rly relate to this song and on the other hand i think she may like someone else and thats killing me 2 cuz i know somewhere inside of her she still loves me but until she realizes that i guess i'll just have to listen to this song over and over again and remember all the good times we use to have and just have to keep praying that god will bring her back to me well i'm gonna get off of here cya

    General Comment:This song is a shame. It's so irritating. And it's the worst song i've ever heard. the lyrics are plain and simple, and I dont know what you people think. Tim McGraw and Nelly make a horrible duo.

    General Comment:This song really gets me every time I hear it. Last time I listened to it was last night, in a car with one of my best guys friends. (Who I used to like, but is now going out with one of my best girl friends. Ouch.) To him, this song is pretty much how all his past relationships have ended. To me, it is just another sad song about having to let someone go in your heart. None the less, makes me cry every time.
