Lyrics

Moving On

Sometimes it’s hard to get out of the way
A sum of your choices
The price that you pay
I’d never thought that I’d be face to face
Just a shadow of what used to be

Leave it to fate is just something you say
When you ain’t got the strength to get out of the way
There’s nothing more I could possibly say
That could make you change your mind
You go your way and I will go mine

Now that I’m here all alone
I can’t bring myself to let go
One day you’re here
Then you’re gone
Moving on

I’m going mad just repeating myself
Facing up to the cards I’ve been dealt
I remember the way that it felt
When I first caught a glimpse up your sleeve
Was I blind or not wanting to see

Now that I’m here all alone
I can’t bring myself to let go
One day you’re here
Then you’re gone

I’ll wash the clothes
I’ll clean up the place
Tea in the morning
No, dinner won’t wait
Put a foot wrong and I’m flat on my face
You keep pushing and pushing to see
Hoping I’ll be the first one to leave

It’s hard to remember a smile on my face
When you pulled me in or sought my embrace
I try to remember the way that you taste
Oh, it’s right on the tip of my tongue
But there no turning back what’s been done

Now that I’m here all alone
I can’t bring myself to let go
One day you’re here
Then you’re gone
Moving on

I hang up the phone
My heart hits the floor
Who is this stranger that I stand before?
