Long Gone and Moved On

The Script · Science & Faith [2010]

When's the day you start again

And when the hell does you'll get over it begin

I'm looking hard in the mirror

But I don't fit my skin

It's too much to take

It's too hard to break me

From the cell I'm in



Oh from this moment on

I'm changing the way I feel yeah

From this moment on

It's time to get real



Cause I still don't know how to act

Don't know what to say

Still wear the scars like it was yesterday

But you're long gone and moved on

But you're long gone

But I still don't know where to start, still finding my way

Still talk about you like it was yesterday

But you're long gone and moved on

But you're long gone, you moved on



So how'd you pick the pieces up yeah

I'm barely used to saying me instead of us

The elephant in the room keeps scaring off the guests

It gets under my skin to see you with him

And it's not me that you're with



Oh from this moment on

I'm changing the way I feel yeah

From this moment on

It's time to get real



Cause I still don't know how to act

Don't know what to say

Still wear the scars like it was yesterday

But you're long gone and moved on

But you're long gone

But I still don't know where to start, still finding my way

Still talk about you like it was yesterday

But you're long gone and moved on

But you're long gone, you moved on



No I can't keep thinking that you're coming back

No

Cause I got no business knowing where you're at

No

And it's gonna be hard yeah

Cause I have to wanna heal yeah

And it's gonna be hard yeah

The way I feel that I have to get real



I still don't know how to act

Don't know what to say

Still wear the scars like it was yesterday

But you're long gone and moved on

But you're long gone

But I still don't know where to start, still finding my way

Still talk about you like it was yesterday

But you're long gone and moved on

But you're long gone, you moved on



But you're long gone, you moved on

Eh eh, oh oh

eh eh, oh oh

But you're long gone, you moved on
