Movin' On
Anjel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we first met I thought that I
Had me some friends that I would die for
I never thought that y'all would do me this way
But y'all ain't even have enough love
Or enough good taste
If you wanted us out
You could tell us to our face, yeah
What happened to us?
Verse B: [LaTavia & LeToya]
We used to be the best of friends
Thought that we would be together 'til the end
Ten more years and the time we spent
Was nothing but a lie
Funny how I thought it was my destiny
Flippin' channels on TV
Readin' things you couldn't even say to me
Tryin' to bring me down and get the best of me
I'm gonna put it all behind me
Not gonna let you crowd me
I'm movin' on
Chorus: [LaTavia & LeToya]
Time heals my wounds
'Cause I do
Think that it's true
'Cause lately
I ain't mad at you
Everybody does what they gotta do
You did what you had to do
Time heal my wounds (time heals my wounds)
So now I
Got my own life, too
And I just
Forgave everything you did to me
Life is much too short to be holding on to hurt
Verse 2: [LeToya]
I was sitting at home, watching TV
Got the new world premeire from Destiny
I couldn't believe
What I had just heard
And all the time and work that we
Put into this
Since we were kids
And you just called it quits
We sacrificed like you
We didn't even finish school
Verse B
Chorus
Bridge: [LaTavia & LeToya]
Time heal my wounds
I'm hangin' with a whole new crew
And I know the Lord brought me through
And I'm praying for you, I'll pray for you
I'll, I'll...
Time heal my wounds
I'm hangin' with a whole new crew
And I know the Lord brought me through
And I'm praying for you, I'll pray for you
I'll, I'll pray for you
I'm moving on
Chorus X2
The lyrics of "Movin' On" by Anjel are about two friends who had a falling out and are dealing with the aftermath. The first verse, sung by LaTavia, expresses her disbelief and hurt over the fact that her friends could turn on her without explanation. She wonders what caused the rift between them and why they couldn't be upfront about it instead of backstabbing her. The chorus highlights the message of the song, which is to let go of hurt feelings and move on with life. Everyone has to do what they have to do, and it's important not to hold onto the pain of the past.
The second verse, sung by LeToya, reveals that the song is actually about the group Destiny's Child, from which LaTavia and LeToya were ousted. They sacrificed a lot for the group, including their education, and were shocked when Beyonce and Kelly announced that they were moving on without them. The bridge acknowledges that time has healed their wounds, and they have moved on and made new connections. Lastly, they are praying for their former friends and wishing them well, demonstrating maturity and forgiveness.

When we first met I thought that I
At the beginning of our friendship, I believed
Had me some friends that I would die for
That I had very close friends that I would protect and support no matter what
I never thought that y'all would do me this way
I never expected that my friends would treat me this unfairly
But y'all ain't even have enough love
But you didn't have enough compassion or empathy
Or enough good taste
Or enough good judgment
If you wanted us out
If you wanted us to leave the group
You could tell us to our face, yeah
You could have been honest and told us in person
One day, just tell me
I would like to know
What happened to us?
What caused our friendship to fall apart?
We used to be the best of friends
We were once very close friends
Thought that we would be together 'til the end
I believed that our friendship would last forever
Ten more years and the time we spent
After being friends for a long time
Was nothing but a lie
It turned out that much of our friendship wasn't genuine
Funny how I thought it was my destiny
It's ironic that I believed our friendship was meant to be
Flippin' channels on TV
Watching television aimlessly
Readin' things you couldn't even say to me
Reading hurtful things about me that you couldn't even say to my face
Tryin' to bring me down and get the best of me
Intentionally trying to harm me and succeed over me
I'm gonna put it all behind me
I'm going to move on and forget about the past
Not gonna let you crowd me
I'm not going to allow you to take up space in my life anymore
I'm movin' on
I'm moving forward with my life
Time heals my wounds
Over time, my emotional pain will lessen
'Cause I do
I know
Think that it's true
Believe that it's a fact
'Cause lately
Recently
I ain't mad at you
I don't feel anger towards you anymore
Everybody does what they gotta do
People do what they think is necessary or best for themselves
You did what you had to do
You did what you thought was best, even if it hurt me
So now I
And now, I
Got my own life, too
Have my own life to focus on
And I just
And I simply
Forgave everything you did to me
I've chosen to forgive you for everything you did to me
Life is much too short to be holding on to hurt
Life is too brief to hold onto negative emotions
I was sitting at home, watching TV
I was at home, watching television
Got the new world premiere from Destiny
Saw a new song premiering from the group Destiny's Child
I couldn't believe
I found it hard to accept
What I had just heard
The news I just heard from the song
And all the time and work that we
All the effort and commitment we had put in
Put into this
Put into our friendship and our music
Since we were kids
Since we were young
And you just called it quits
And you just ended it
We sacrificed like you
We put in as much work and commitment as you did
We didn't even finish school
We didn't even graduate from school
Time heal my wounds
Over time, my emotional pain will heal
I'm hangin' with a whole new crew
I'm spending time with a completely new set of people
And I know the Lord brought me through
And I believe that God helped me overcome it all
And I'm praying for you, I'll pray for you
I'm offering prayer and support for you
I'm moving on
I'm moving forward
