Moving On
Moving On: A Journey Beyond Heartbreak
Lyrics
I've been told I let you slip away
I regret allowing you to leave.
Maybe I knew you'd never like to stay
Perhaps I sensed you wouldn't stay.
If I could go back to the day we met
If I could go back to our initial meeting.
I'd turn around and walk the other way
I would turn away and choose a different path.
Now you're just a part of yesterday
Now you are only a part of my past.
And the whole world changes grey
The world seems dull and lifeless.
If only
Expressing a sense of longing or regret.
Somebody told me that you are too far gone
Someone informed me that you are unreachable.
I wouldn't care darling I'm moving on
Despite that, I am indifferent, and I am moving forward.
Somebody told me that you are too far gone
Reiteration of the emotional detachment and moving on.
I wouldn't care darling I'm moving on
Emphasizing the resolve to move on despite the situation.
And all the roads you said you had to take
Referring to the paths or choices the other person made.
The games at which only the two can play
Mention of the interpersonal dynamics and games.
And what we took to be a rainy day
Reflecting on what was thought to be a difficult time.
A storm we sailed and both got pushed away
Describing a challenging period they both faced together.
And in the cold night of our darker days
Referencing difficult times experienced in the past.
There is only one thing left to say
A statement acknowledging the end of the relationship.
If only
Reiteration of a desire for different circumstances.
Somebody told me that you are too far gone
Being informed again about the unattainability of the person.
I wouldn't care darling I'm moving on
Reaffirmation of the commitment to move on.
Somebody told me that you are too far gone
Restating the emotional distance and determination to move forward.
I wouldn't care darling I'm moving on
Final confirmation of the decision to move on from the past.
