Moving Along


I want to believe that everything you've said is true, but I just can't trust myself to trust in you. You've told me lies, you've made me cry. I'd stay up all night trying to figure out why. Looking back, I can remember our good days, but the good can't make the bad go away. I needed your love; instead, I got abuse. I needed your time; instead, you cut me loose. Now I know it's okay because you made me strong, and now I know how to move along. I'm sorry, but this time you don't get me back. I'm so tired of hearing your skipping track. It's taken a while for me to get to the end, but now I'm done, I'm over trying to pretend.
