&quot;Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It&#039;s a way of understanding it.&quot;<br /> ~~~<br /> &quot;You&#039;ve gotta dance like there&#039;s no one watching, love like you&#039;ll never be hurt, sing like there&#039;s no one listening, and live like it&#039;s heaven on earth.&quot;<br /> &ldquo;The most important words a man can say are, &quot;I will do better.&rdquo; <br /> ― Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer


Sad news breaks my bones
No matter what I try the tears will flow
Comforting hugs make their way in
People whisper of the life that's to begin
But I don't want hear it (no)
Don't want to believe it (oh no)
I want you
Still I know I need to
Move

 

Chorus:
I'm moving on
It's the only thing left to do
I'm moving on
But I still miss you
I'm moving on
Cause I know you'd want me to
I'm moving on
When I'm done with this song

 

Sitting in the dark, hugging my knees
Crying however much I please
Singing to the empty room
It may make feel calmer
But it doesn't heal me for longer
The only medicine is moving forward

 

Chorus

 

All I want to do is stay still
All I want to hear is the past
All I want to think of is pretending that you still last (you still last)
But I know I must get up (get up)
I know I must stay strong
Like you always were
I must face my life head on

 

Chorus

 

The tears are still flowing
I see where my life is going
And I pledge that I will follow
The hole's no longer ripping
I fear that I'm still tripping
There's a smile on my face
Ohhh
It's there for you

 

Chorus

 

Grandma, I'm moving on for you
You'll always be here with me
I know I can turn to you
So for now
So for now
I'm moving on...for you
I'm moving on...for you
