The song opens with the narrator feeling trapped under a cloud of sadness and watching others find love while feeling left behind. They express how difficult it is to love and be happy when they are the one left standing alone. They have lost themselves in the days and can't hold onto what they miss. This creates a void in their life, leaving little room for anything else. As the song progresses, the narrator reflects on the past and the intimacy they once shared with their partner. They reminisce about knowing every crease in their sheets and how their partner sounded in their sleep. However, they now feel like a stranger is next to them, as their partner has grown distant. The narrator's partner admits that they understand the desire to leave, but they shouldn't be blamed for their own happiness.

The question is whether the sacrifices made were worth it and if they truly helped. The chorus highlights the crumbling state of their relationship, with all the hope and fear and everything they built together breaking down. Their partner's tears, though perfect in their display of emotion, cannot save them from the disintegration of their love. The lyrics suggest that if love could lift them over all these obstacles, all they would need are a set of wings to escape their troubles. Overall, "Over Me" explores the emotional turmoil of a failing relationship, the longing for understanding and connection, and the consequences of sacrificing one's own happiness for someone else. The song captures the pain and confusion that comes with losing someone you love and the desperation to save what remains.
