Moving On: Embracing Freedom and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Move on, be free
Expressing the need to move on and be free from a past relationship.
Now I've almost forgotten you
Indicating progress in forgetting the person from the past.
Who's next for me?
Pondering about the next person or opportunity in life.
Now I've almost forgotten you
Reiterating the process of almost forgetting the past relationship.
Dress up really nice
Choosing to dress up nicely and enjoy nights as desired.
And go and spend my nights like I wanted to
Engaging in activities at night according to personal preferences.
'Cause I'm biding my time
Waiting for the right time, biding one's time before completely moving on.
And doing what I like 'til I forget you
Pursuing personal interests until the memory of the past relationship fades.
Don't think you're playing on my mind
Asserting that the person from the past is not occupying the mind.
Been a while since we said goodbye
Acknowledging that it has been a while since the farewell.
Took me a minute just to realise
Reflecting on the time it took to realize the ability to move on.
I'll be alright this time
Expressing confidence in being okay this time without the past relationship.
I'm better off without you
Declaring the realization that one is better off without the former partner.
It's easier to see
Highlighting the clarity that comes with forgetting the past relationship.
Now that I've forgotten you
Affirming knowledge of where one wants to be and it's not with the ex-partner.
I know where I wanna be
Stating that thoughts have changed about the desired location in life.
And I know it's not next to you
Clarifying the decision not to be with the former partner.
When I lie awake at night
Reflecting on nights without dwelling on thoughts of the past relationship.
I don't think about you like I used to do
Expressing a shift in thinking about the ex-partner compared to the past.
I don't miss your idiosyncrasies
Not missing the unique characteristics or habits of the former partner.
The way that'd you'd look at me
Disregarding the way the ex-partner used to look at the speaker.
Like I'm see through
Feeling like the ex-partner's perception of the speaker is no longer impactful.
It was all those awkward moments
Recalling past moments that were considered awkward but now seen differently.
That I used to think were golden
Expressing relief that those awkward moments are now in the past.
I'm so glad that it's all over, anyway
Expressing contentment and satisfaction that the relationship is over.
Was a minor lapse of judgement
Referring to a momentary lapse of judgment in prioritizing the ex-partner.
When I put you at the forefront
Acknowledging the mistake of placing the ex-partner at the forefront of thoughts.
Of my complicated conscience
Describing the complicated nature of the speaker's conscience at that time.
Wouldn't you say?
Seeking agreement on the complexity of the past situation.
Don't think you're playing on my mind

Been a while since we said goodbye
Re-emphasizing the time elapsed since the goodbye was said.
Took me a minute just to realise
Acknowledging the time it took to realize the ability to move on.
I'll be alright this time
Expressing confidence in being okay this time without the past relationship.
And maybe you'll see me again
Suggesting a possibility of meeting again but as passing acquaintances.
But I'll be nothing but a passing friend

For all the time I was down
Reflecting on the challenging times and being glad to have moved on.
I'm glad I found my way out

But now
