I Must Move On
I Must Move On
It's been so long, why can't I move on?
I chose to leave on my own,
But now I always have memories of our love.
Part of the reason I left you is gone,
I left all of that too.
I go out and I think about you.
On this night I was alone and ready for a good time,
At the beginning of the night, it seemed that was all I could do.
As the night continued though, thoughts of the past,
Brought pain and it felt like I was right next door to hell.
I continued to remember that in my eyes you were so fine.
I fought tears back because I don't cry but
It hurts to know that we are estranged.
We probably would never be close again.
All I thought about as I stood by the water,
Was seeing you with another man.
It was there that I wondered should I slash my wrists?
As this thought ran through my mind
I know that I need to show a little patience.
Time went by,
Then I would try to only think of right now,
To have nothin' but a good time.
This would be great, I won't forget you but,
I need to move on.
It's been a decade and I ended it but I still miss you,
Maybe it was a mistake but life goes on.
I may tell myself I need to keep going,
But I just can't let go.
I will always have your beauty on my mind,
And no matter what it will hurt that I let you go.
They say every rose has it's thorn,
but this thorn is there because of me.
Now I stand by the same water,
Should I inject this poison to forget.
I just don't know.
Will I ever find love again?
The only way to know is to move on,
And forget the past.
