Moving On
Long-Reef Lyrics

You're only smiling when you're stepping on my toes
You derive joy out of causing me discomfort and pain.

Throwing your elbows
Pushing me aside with force and aggression.

Trying to oppose everything I do
You are actively resisting and challenging my decisions and actions.

With or without you
I will pursue my goals and aspirations, regardless of your presence in my life.

I've been bending over backwards
I have been going to great lengths to accommodate your desires and needs.

To keep you happy by my side
I have been exerting considerable effort to ensure that you remain content and satisfied in our relationship.

So sick of breaking my fingers
I am exhausted from putting in so much effort and sacrificing my well-being to please you.

To keep you hooked on every line
I have been trying to captivate your attention and affection with every word and action.

This is for all the lies, every time, "cause you said so"
I am calling you out on all the falsehoods and deceit that you have perpetuated, often with flimsy justifications.

You've got every right to shut your mouth and listen close
You should stop trying to justify your deceptive behavior and actually take responsibility for your actions.

I'm getting tired of begging for more love
I am weary of having to plead for affection and attention from you.

I'll never be enough to make you want to stand up
I realize that no matter what I do, I cannot meet your expectations or win your genuine admiration.

And clap your hands
I cannot inspire you to genuinely appreciate or applaud me.

You had your chance
You squandered your opportunities to show me love and respect.

I'm moving on
I am making the decision to leave this relationship behind and move forward without you.

Should have seen it all along
I should have recognized your abusive and deceptive behavior sooner than I did.

This is your wake-up call
I am issuing a call to action for you to recognize the harm you have caused and change your ways.

We could have had it all
We had the potential for a loving and fulfilling relationship, but you ruined it through your actions.

From here on, if you fall
In the future, if you experience hardships or difficulties, I will not be there to support or catch you.

I won't be there to catch you
I am no longer willing to continue being your safety net, especially after all the pain you have caused me.
