【歌詞翻訳・意味解説】Daughtry/ドートリー Over You/オーヴァー・ユー【歌詞翻訳・意味解説】

アメリカのロックバンド。
アメリカン・アイドルシーズン5のファイナリスト。

クリス・ドートリーをフロントマンにすえ、2006年にデビュー。ファーストアルバム、ドートリーは全米ビルボードで1位となった。

Chris Daughtryが力強く歌っているので、主人公は男性だと思ってしまうのですが…
「ハンマーを持ち出して　壁にかかった思い出の品をめちゃめちゃにして
　玄関の前まで引きずり出すと　荷物をまとめて出て行った」
という箇所を読む限り、主人公は恋人にこっぴどく振られた女性のようです。

ところで歌詞について語り合うサイトで，この曲をこき下している投稿を見つけました。
私見ですが、曲（特に別れを扱った曲）に対して、こういう批判的な投稿をする人物は、大抵の場合、その曲に思い当る節がある人です。
この場合、批判している人物は、自分も過去に主人公の元彼がしたのと同じことをしているのだと思います。

Now that it’s all said and done,
I can’t believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I’m slowly getting closure.
I guess it’s really over.
I’m finally getting better.
And now I’m picking up the pieces.
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I’m slowly getting closure.
I guess it’s really over.
I’m finally getting better.
And now I’m picking up the pieces.
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I’m slowly getting closure.
I guess it’s really over.
I’m finally getting better.
And now I’m picking up the pieces.
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I’m putting my heart back together,
‘Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through,
I got over you.
