Movin' On
Brandon Rogers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chorus
Say what you want about me cause
If I can?t give you what you need,
Then you should be movin? on
Keep movin? on
Say what you want about me but
At least I know what I need
And if you can not give it to me

Then I?m movin? on?

Don?t you come at me with words you don?t understand
Like love, and trust and then
Turn and walk away
Like you got the upper hand (not again)
My dad he told me that if you got something to say
Gotta have the strength to say it to his face
So why do I hear all this talking in the background
Saying how you don?t want me?

Chorus

Did you think I wouldn?t find out about your friend?
And I know where all your time?s been spent
You?ve been walking round, like you?re single now
You should?ve just told me
But now I know that you can?t be trusted at all
No longer will I wait for you to call me
Back in the day you were all that I needed but
You were decieving me?
So you can say?

Chorus

All the time I wasted wondering where the hell you?ve been
All the lies you told I?m never falling for it again
Cause I?ve been there and I?ve done that
And you?ll never get the chance to win me back
Cause I gave you all I had
And all you did was treat me bad
I?m sick and tired of your games
I?ll never be the same
So say what you want to
Cause I?m moving on baby

Chorus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Brandon Rogers's song Movin' On seem to revolve around the idea of moving on from a past relationship that didn't work out. The chorus, in particular, highlights the decision to leave behind a person who can't give one what they need. Despite possible judgment or criticism, the singer asserts that they know what they want and need, and if that can't be provided, it's time to move on. The verses describe the hurt and betrayal of being deceived by a partner who has misled them and spent time with another person. This person is not willing to communicate openly and honestly, which leads to the singer feeling fooled and disrespected.

The song's lyrics also touch on the idea of self-respect and self-worth, asserting that one should not settle for less than what they need or want. The song's narrator is tired of playing games and discovering lies, as they've given all they had to the relationship but haven't received the same in return. Overall, the song seems to encourage the listener to stand up for themselves and move on when necessary to find what they need.

Line by Line Meaning

Say what you want about me cause
You may talk negatively about me because

If I can?t give you what you need,
In the situation where I cannot satisfy your needs,

Then you should be movin' on
It would be best for you to move on from our relationship

Keep movin' on
Please continue on with your life

Say what you want about me but
You may say whatever you wish about me, but

At least I know what I need
I have a clear understanding of my own personal needs

And if you can not give it to me
If you are unable to meet those needs of mine

Then I'm movin' on?
I must move forward and away from you

Don't you come at me with words you don't understand
Please do not speak to me using words that you do not comprehend

Like love, and trust and then
For example, terms such as love and trust,

Turn and walk away
Before abandoning our relationship

Like you got the upper hand (not again)
As if you hold all of the power over me (I will not let it happen again)

My dad he told me that if you got something to say
My father taught me that whenever one feels the need to communicate something

Gotta have the strength to say it to his face
They must possess the courage to articulate it directly to the individual's face

So why do I hear all this talking in the background
Why do I hear others conversing about me when they should address me directly?

Saying how you don't want me?
Is it true that you no longer wish to be involved with me?

Did you think I wouldn't find out about your friend?
Did you believe that I would not discover information concerning your friend?

And I know where all your time's been spent
I am aware of how you have spent all of your time recently

You've been walking round, like you're single now
You have been presenting yourself to others as if you are no longer in a committed relationship

You should've just told me
It would have been ideal for you to have been honest with me

But now I know that you can't be trusted at all
However, I now recognize that I cannot rely on you in any way

No longer will I wait for you to call me
I have chosen to no longer continue waiting for you to reach out to me

Back in the day you were all that I needed but
In the past, you fulfilled all of my necessities, but

You were decieving me?
Were you actually deceiving me?

So you can say?
Therefore, you may express yourself however you desire

All the time I wasted wondering where the hell you've been
I spent a great amount of time contemplating your whereabouts

All the lies you told I'm never falling for it again
I refuse to fall for any future untruthful statements that you express

'Cause I've been there and I've done that
I have experienced similar situations before

And you'll never get the chance to win me back
Thus, I will never again permit you the opportunity to regain my affection

'Cause I gave you all I had
I invested all of my effort into our relationship

And all you did was treat me bad
Yet, all you offered in return was mistreatment

I'm sick and tired of your games
I have reached a point of exhaustion and frustration with the playing around that you do

I'll never be the same
I cannot simply overlook what has happened and return to my prior state of being

So say what you want to
You may speak your truth

'Cause I'm moving on baby
Nonetheless, I am moving forward from our past experiences

Chorus
