Moving On
Undawn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m moving on

We were friends for such a long time
Shared everything
I knew you like the back of my hand
But the times are changing
And your path leads astray
I can't take it anymore

So this is where it ends for me
I′m moving on alone
I guess there's nothing left to say
While you're waiting I′m long gone
I′m moving on alone

You were so strong, a beloved person
The kind that's real
But the gamble changed it all for good
Now you′re here showing innocent eyes
But I'm starring in the eyes of a dead man

So this is where it ends for me
I′m moving on alone
I guess there's nothing left to say
While you′re waiting I'm long gone
I'm moving on alone

We′re through here
I′m moving on
While you're here waiting I′m long gone
I'm moving on

Of course I had my doubts
When your thoughts became my reality

Your heart played tricks on me every time
When I needed you

Your words
Mean nothing to me
When you hated me for so long
And I won′t regret everything I've done




′Cause I'm moving on
I'm moving on
