moving on
When the people you've known your whole life
Turn out to be as real as your old Barbie doll
The fake smiles that mean nothing at all
They don't care if you fall
They shut you out of their life when you're no longer of use to them
Like a toy that's forgotten
They don't have anything better to do
They're looking to pull it from you
But you tell yourself
I'm moving on
Someday, they'll notice the other side of me
I'll rewrite the course of history
Putting the past behind me
And one day they'll see
I'm finally free and then I find
All that time has taught me
I'm the only person there for me
Looking out of my window
I see a world of opportunity
I meet friendly new faces
That appreciate me
I'll stand up for myself now and always
Knowing each day is a brighter day
It's time to go
So I tell myself
I'm moving on
Someday, they'll notice the other side of me
I'll rewrite the course of history
Putting the past behind me
And one day they'll see
I'm finally free and then I find
All that time has taught me
I'm the only person there for me
Better life, family and friends who accept me for who I really am
Wiser now, I'm looking and feeling my best
Then those old friends come crawling back
Thinking they can reconnect like that
Then they find you've moved on to better things
Looking back I remember the time that I told myself
I'm moving on
Someday, they'll get to see the other side of me
I'll rewrite the course of history
With my favorite people around me
And now that they can see
I'm finally free and then I find
All that time has taught me
I'm not the only person there for me
When the people you've known your whole life
Turn out to be the ones who shaped who you are
Turn out to be as real as your old Barbie doll
The fake smiles that mean nothing at all
They don't care if you fall
They shut you out of their life when you're no longer of use to them
Like a toy that's forgotten
They don't have anything better to do
They're looking to pull it from you
But you tell yourself
I'm moving on
Someday, they'll notice the other side of me
I'll rewrite the course of history
Putting the past behind me
And one day they'll see
I'm finally free and then I find
All that time has taught me
I'm the only person there for me
Looking out of my window
I see a world of opportunity
I meet friendly new faces
That appreciate me
I'll stand up for myself now and always
Knowing each day is a brighter day
It's time to go
So I tell myself
I'm moving on
Someday, they'll notice the other side of me
I'll rewrite the course of history
Putting the past behind me
And one day they'll see
I'm finally free and then I find
All that time has taught me
I'm the only person there for me
Better life, family and friends who accept me for who I really am
Wiser now, I'm looking and feeling my best
Then those old friends come crawling back
Thinking they can reconnect like that
Then they find you've moved on to better things
Looking back I remember the time that I told myself
I'm moving on
Someday, they'll get to see the other side of me
I'll rewrite the course of history
With my favorite people around me
And now that they can see
I'm finally free and then I find
All that time has taught me
I'm not the only person there for me
When the people you've known your whole life
Turn out to be the ones who shaped who you are
