I’m Movin’ On

I wish that you had

Loved me then

Loved me when

You said you loved me then

But, it’s plain to see

It was not to be

And will never be

 

You came to me

Opened my heart

Tore it apart

Such a delicate art

And I could not foresee

I’d be the casualty

Of your sorcery

 

I’m movin’ on

I’ll be long gone

No more sad songs

I’m movin’ on

 

You touted words of

Happiness

Togetherness

Forever-ness

But your loyalty

Was not to me

Such a fallacy

 

So it’s over now

You had your chance

At fine romance

I’ve made my stance

And one day you’ll see

With a certainty

What you’ve lost in me

 

I’m movin’ on

I’ll be long gone

No more sad songs

I’m movin’ on

 

I wish that you had

           Loved me then
  
        Loved me when
  
        You said you loved me then
I’m movin’ on
I’ll be long gone
  
        But, it’s plain to see
  
        It was not to be
  
        And will never be
No more sad songs
I’m movin’ on
