The Script(더 스크립트) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when the hell does you'll get over it begin
I'm looking hard in the mirror
But I don't fit my skin
It's too much to take
It's too hard to break me
From the cell I'm in
I'm changing the way I feel, yeah
From this moment on
It's time to get real
'Cause I still don't know how to act
Don't know what to say
Still wear the scars like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
'Cause you're long gone
But I still don't know where to start, still finding my way
Still talk about you like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
But you're long gone, you moved on
So how'd you pick the pieces up, yeah
I'm barely used to saying me instead of us
The elephant in the room keeps scaring off the guests
It gets under my skin to see you with him
And it's not me that you're with
Oh from this moment on
I'm changing the way I feel yeah
From this moment on
It's time to get real
'Cause I still don't know how to act
Don't know what to say
Still wear the scars like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
'Cause you're long gone
But I still don't know where to start, still finding my way
Still talk about you like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
But you're long gone, you moved on
No, I can't keep thinking that you're coming back
No
'Cause I got no business knowing where you're at
No
And it's gonna be hard, yeah
'Cause I have to wanna heal yeah
And its gonna be hard, yeah
The way I feel that I have to get real
I still don't know how to act
Don't know what to say
Still wear the scars like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
But you're long gone
But I still don't know where to start, still finding my way
Still talk about you like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
But you're long gone, you moved on
But you're long gone, you moved on
But you're long gone, you moved on
The lyrics of The Script's song Long Gone and Moved On express the struggle of moving on from a past relationship. The singer of the song is addressing their ex-partner, reflecting on the difficulty of starting over and healing from the emotional pain. The first verse asks when they will start feeling better and when they will be able to move on. The singer feels trapped in their own emotions and struggles to let go of the past, as they still wear the scars of the relationship.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of change and getting real. The singer realizes that they need to change the way they feel and start fresh, but they still don't know how to act or what to say. They keep talking about the past like it was yesterday, but the reality is, they're long gone and moved on. The second verse emphasizes the difficulty of picking up the pieces and moving on. The singer acknowledges that they're barely used to thinking about themselves instead of their ex-partner. The elephant in the room, their past relationship, still affects them and scares off potential guests in their life.
The bridge of the song encourages the singer to stop hoping for their ex-partner to come back and to let go of the idea of knowing where they are. The singer realizes that healing and moving on will be hard, but they need to get real and start focusing on their own wellbeing. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the fact that their ex-partner is long gone and moved on, and the singer is still finding their way.
Line by Line Meaning
When's the day you start again
Wondering when the healing process will begin
And when the hell does you'll get over it begin
Asking when the pain will end
I'm looking hard in the mirror
Examining oneself closely
But I don't fit my skin
Feeling uneasy in one's own body
It's too much to take
Overwhelming emotions that are difficult to handle
It's too hard to break me
Feeling strong and resilient despite the emotional pain
From the cell I'm in
Feeling trapped and stuck in one's current situation
Oh, from this moment on
Making a decision to change things going forward
I'm changing the way I feel, yeah
Committing to changing one's emotional state
It's time to get real
Time to face reality and move on
'Cause I still don't know how to act
Uncertainty about how to behave in the aftermath
Don't know what to say
Feeling speechless or unsure about what to communicate
Still wear the scars like it was yesterday
Emotional wounds that are still prominent
But you're long gone and moved on
Acknowledging that the other person has moved on
'Cause you're long gone
Repeating the fact that the other person has moved on
But I still don't know where to start, still finding my way
Feeling lost and unsure about how to move forward
Still talk about you like it was yesterday
Holding on to memories of the past
So how'd you pick the pieces up, yeah
Reflecting on how to move on from the heartbreak
I'm barely used to saying me instead of us
Struggling to adjust to being alone after being in a relationship
The elephant in the room keeps scaring off the guests
Unresolved feelings that make it difficult to engage with others
It gets under my skin to see you with him
Distressed by the thought of the other person being with someone else
And it's not me that you're with
Feeling replaced and unwanted
No, I can't keep thinking that you're coming back
Realizing that holding onto false hope is not helpful
And I got no business knowing where you're at
Understand that the other person's whereabouts are no longer relevant
And it's gonna be hard, yeah
Recognizing that moving on will be challenging
'Cause I have to wanna heal yeah
Acknowledging that healing requires effort and intention
But you're long gone, you moved on
Reiterating that the other person has moved on
But you're long gone, you moved on
Repeating the same idea once again

So sad that their songs aren’t more recognized. These guys are amazingly talented and their songs are literally relatable. With each choice of words to the deliverance. I thank you guys for helping me get over my relationship of seven years after my gf cheated. It was a tough few months after that but you guys helped me. I forever thank you!

My ex-girlfriend and I are both fans of this band. Now we're just two strangers who still loves the script's songs. And this song kinda' reminds me how martyr am I, I'm still inlove with someone who already moved on.
