Move
Usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know why you still try
The answer is never gonna change
Thought you would've given up by now
It's about time you throw in the towel, yeah
So come on, move on from me
You know that there's plenty of fish in the sea
I'm just not one, I'm not the one for you
You've gotta get over me while you have the chance
Move on from me, move on from me
You've gotta get your head outta the clouds
I've blocked your phone, you know by now
The answer is never gonna change, no
Just walk away, you know how, one foot in front of the other, yeah
So come on, move on from me
You know that there's plenty of fish in the sea
I'm just not one, I'm not the one for you
Like I've said, move on ahead
You've gotta get over me while you have the chance
Move on from me, move on from me
I'm not one in a million, just one of billions
So please move on from me
I'm not one in a million, I've got my reasons
So please move on from me
So come on, move on from me
You know that there's plenty of fish in the sea
I'm just not one, I'm not the one for you
Like I've said, move on ahead
You've gotta get over me while you have the chance
Move on from me, move on from me
So come on, move on from me
You know that there's plenty of fish in the sea
I'm just not one, I'm not the one for you
Like I've said, move on ahead
You've gotta get over me while you have the chance
Move on from me, move on from me
Oh, oh move on from me, move on from me
Oh, oh move on from me, move on from me
In Usher's song "Move On," the lyrics convey a clear message of rejection and the need for someone to let go and move on from a failed romantic pursuit. The singer expresses his confusion as to why the person continues to persist in pursuing him, despite his repeated rejections. He urges them to give up and accept that he is not interested in being with them. The lyric "You've asked me out like a million times, I don't know why you still try" emphasizes the persistence of the person, while Usher's statement "The answer is never gonna change" shows that he has made up his mind and does not see any potential for a relationship between them.
Usher urges the person to move on and find someone else who may be a better match for them, using the metaphor "There's plenty of fish in the sea." He emphasizes that he is just not the right person for them and encourages them to find someone else who will reciprocate their feelings. The repetition of the phrase "move on from me" serves as a direct and clear plea for the person to detach themselves emotionally and let go of any hope of a romantic relationship with Usher.
Overall, the song's lyrics highlight the need for acceptance and moving on from unrequited love or a one-sided relationship. Usher's straightforward and honest approach in expressing his lack of interest and the importance of letting go allows for a relatable and empowering message to those who may find themselves in similar situations.

This song goes so much more deeper in meaning. He mentioned he lost his way and she promised to stay but obviously, her heart couldn't take the hurt that she experienced from him. He's trying to reconcile what he has done but unfortunately, she is giving him a hard time. Honestly, sometimes it not easy to forgive someone for hurting you and once that trust is gone, it will never be the same!
