Move On

Back to bleachers
Back to school
Back to walking through my old routine
And all the teachers play it cool
While they tiptoe around, saying the wrong thing
I remember plans we had
And think that they're still on
And for a second I am fine
Then I remember that you're gone

Now all your promises are lies you couldn't keep
Sometimes I call your voicemail, just to hear you speak
Cause you aren't here, I miss you
Tell me, when will you come home?
I'm breathing
I'm alive
But I'm alone

But all my friends say that it will be okay
Because it has to
Because it has to
And I just have to do the things they want me to
Because I have to
Because I have to move on

Someone tell the colleges you're dead
And you're not going
You're the only person in the world I want to see

And what about your birthdays?
And your best friends?
And all the things that you're supposed to be?
Now if I say 'I'm fine' enough, then I'll believe it
And if I block your voice out, I'll stay right on track
And the counselor might dismiss me
If I promise I know you're not coming back

But all my friends say
That it will be okay
Because it has to
Because it has to
And I Just have to do the things they want me to
Because I have to
Because I have to move on

Promise that you won't forget me
Someone has got to hold on to me
Promise that you won't forget me
Live and let live but don't let go
Promise that you won't forget me
Someone has got to hold on to me
Promise that you won't forget me
Live and let live but don't let go

But all your friends say that it will be okay
Because it has to
Because it has to
And you just have to do the things they want you to
Because you have to
Because I have to move on
And in the silence now
I hear your voice somehow
Because I have to
Because I have to
And though the memory fades
I'll live for you each day
But still I have to
But still I have to move on

Promise that you won't forget me
Someone's got to hold on to me
Promise that you won't forget me
Live and let live but don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go!
