Moving, Moving

Move away

Move away



Spirit changed the conversation

Stepping stones across the land

I never wanted to be a hero

I never wanted to be a man



I hurt you darling, I made you cry

I hurt you darling, don't ask me why



Move move move away from me darling

I never said I'd hold your hand

Move move move away from me darling

I never said I'd understand

If I could say this was judgement day

You know I'd be a millionaire



I'm prepared to wear my sorrow

Everywhere we go in town

Ain't no need to beg or borrow

While you're there to drag me down



I hurt you darling, I made you cry

I hurt you darling, don't ask me why, oh yeah



Move move move away from me darling

I never said I'd hold your hand

Move move move away from me darling

I never said I'd understand

If I could say this was judgement day

You know I'd be a millionaire, yeah, yeah



(Justice right)

Move away

I need you so

I can't let go



I hurt you darling, I made you cry

I hurt you darling, don't ask me why, oh why



Move move move away from me darling

I never said I'd hold your hand

Move move move away from me darling

I never said I'd understand

Move move move away from me darling

I never said I'd hold your hand



(Moving moving)

Move away

I never said that I'd hold your hand

(Move move move away

why don't you move)

I never said that I'd understand

(Move away oohoo) Move away move away

(move move move away

why don't you move)
