Movin' On
Ian Martin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think the time has come
To say goodbye to you
No, I won't take you back

Oh cause I know
About those other girls
Baby ooooh oooh does it hurt

You can't have me now
You can't bring me down
Oooh and your words

They will tumble down, Ttey won't bring me down

And all the words you put into my head
I thought you loved me but you lied to me instead
My eyes are open and I'm moving on tonight

I still remember all the things you've said
I thought you loved me but you lied to me instead
My eyes are open and I'm moving on tonight

Tonight I'm moving on, I'm moving ahead

Ooh and the words
They can't hurt me now
Cause I know they can't bring me down
Tonight I'm moving on I'm moving ahead
And all the words you put into my head
I thought you loved me but you lied to me instead
My eyes are open and I'm moving on tonight
I still remember all the things you've said
I thought you loved me but you lied to me instead
My eyes are open and I'm moving on tonight

Tonight I'm moving on I'm moving ahead
Tonight I'm moving on I'm moving ahead
Tonight I'm moving on I'm moving ahead

I'm moving
