Move On
Aphrose Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remove your keys from out the door
Don't know how else to say
You're not welcome anymore
Get gone, don't wanna hear your lies
Cuz you're making me sick
Every word that you spit,
Reflects the guilt in your eyes

Now I'm done
And I'm back to where I started
So you won
Do you think that makes you a better man?
I'll be gone
And the days will go on like before
But you still have to live with the fact
That you did me wrong
So it's 'bout time I get my move on, on
My move on, on

You played your cards close to your chest
Mistook my love for weakness
Killed all happiness
And I'll never get the games you play
So I'm leaving behind
All the pain and the lies
At least I still can walk away

Now I'm done
And I'm back to where I started
So you won
Do you think that makes you a better man?
I'll be gone
And the days will go on like before
But you still have to live with the fact
That you did me wrong

So it's 'bout time I get my move on, on
My move on, on

Line by Line Meaning

Remove your keys from out the door
I want you to leave for good and I don't want you to come back

Don't know how else to say
This is the only way I can express the fact that I want you to leave

You're not welcome anymore
After all the pain and lies, I don't want you in my life

Get gone, don't wanna hear your lies
I don't want to put up with any more lies coming from you

Cuz you're making me sick
The sight of your face and your voice make me uneasy and sad

Every word that you spit, reflects the guilt in your eyes
I can see through your lies and your words that you feel guilty for what you did

Now I'm done
I am finished trying to make this relationship work

And I'm back to where I started
I am back to being alone and independent

So you won
You may have 'won' the fight or argument, but you lost me

Do you think that makes you a better man?
Your behavior and actions do not define your character or make you a better person

I'll be gone
I will not be in this relationship anymore

And the days will go on like before
My life will go on without you in it

But you still have to live with the fact that you did me wrong
You have to live with the guilt and consequences of your actions and how they affected me

So it's 'bout time I get my move on, on
It's time for me to move on from you and start a new chapter in my life

My move on, on
I am motivated and determined to move on from this relationship

You played your cards close to your chest
You kept your true intentions hidden and lied to me

Mistook my love for weakness
You thought you could take advantage of my feelings for you and expect me to forgive you for hurting me

Killed all happiness
Your actions and lies destroyed all the joy and love we had together

And I'll never get the games you play
I will never understand why you did what you did or played with my emotions

So I'm leaving behind all the pain and the lies
I am leaving behind all the hurt, sadness, and deceit that you brought into my life

At least I still can walk away
I still have the power and ability to leave you and move on from this broken relationship
