Moving On
Kyle Joshua Trask Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I sure know how to believe
Everything you said to me was robed in mystery
I took up arms to help you fight
Then found out I was on the wrong side
But your speeches moved me to battle so now I'm returning blind
Somewhere down the line you've gotta change it
Well, confrontation's hard when you never taste it
Why's it always have to go and be my fault again
And because I'm Moving On
I don't wanna think about the things I've lost again
Thought we had family
Until you proved it wrong to me
When you left here for a week without answering anything
Did you notice I pushed my cane
Did you ever see behind your pain
That you made up in the first place
Now it's history
You wanted to ride the coattails I was dragging
But your grip destroyed the fabric so you can have it
So, I'm Moving On
Why's it always have to go and be my fault again
And because I'm Moving On
I don't wanna think about the things I've lost again
You copy and paste the same apology you choose
You never realize the words that you exchanged in the pews
Used to be sacred, rid of the hatred
Consider the places, dozens of faces
You never cared to try to see what's wrong
So, I'm Moving On
Why's it always have to go and be my fault again
Yeah, I'm Moving On
Why's it always have to go and be my fault again
And because I'm Moving On
I don't wanna think about the things I've lost again
You know how to lie to me
I sure know how to believe
Everything you said to me was robed in mystery

Everything you said to me was robed in mystery
Every word you spoke to me was vague and unclear
I took up arms to help you fight
I joined your cause to assist you in battle
Then found out I was on the wrong side
But later realized that I was supporting the wrong side
But your speeches moved me to battle so now I'm returning blind
However, your persuasive speeches motivated me to fight even though I am now facing the consequences blindly

At some point, you need to alter your behavior

Why do I always have to take the blame for everything?
And because I'm Moving On
And because I am moving forward
I don't wanna think about the things I've lost again
I do not want to dwell on the things I have lost
Thought we had family
I believed that we had a strong familial bond
Until you proved it wrong to me
However, you demonstrated that this was not the case
When you left here for a week without answering anything
You disappeared for a week without providing any explanation
Did you notice I pushed my cane
Did you see how much I struggled while you were gone
Did you ever see behind your pain
Did you ever look past your own pain to see how I was affected
That you made up in the first place
That pain which you created in the first instance
Now it's history
Now it is in the past
You wanted to ride the coattails I was dragging
You wanted to benefit from my success
But your grip destroyed the fabric so you can have it
But your actions caused everything to fall apart, so you are free to take what is left
You copy and paste the same apology you choose
You regurgitate the same apology over and over again
You never realize the words that you exchanged in the pews
You fail to recognize the significance of the words spoken in church
Used to be sacred, rid of the hatred
They used to hold a sacred meaning, free from hate
Consider the places, dozens of faces
Think about the locations and numerous individuals involved
You never cared to try to see what's wrong
You never made an effort to understand what was going wrong
Yeah, I'm Moving On
Yes, I am moving forward
