People my people, farewell and adieu
I am leaving you all for a life behind the walls
Old friends and lovers, take care of each other
This love came to be, nothing but a memory
Gone are the times when I knew you were mine
But I'll keep them inside among the things that I hide
Playing the fool just won't do me no good
So try to play straight, though it's much to late
Moving on (moving on)
But sleeping the day away
Moving on (moving on)
From all of my thoughts today
You might try to find me but there's nothing that binds me here
Memories fade from the life that I'd made
Everyone's begin' for answers but there's simply nothing to tell
'Cause I don't know myself
Figuring out what my soul is about is a dark road to take
With a new friend - heartache
I am not leaving for the lack of the believing
To follow the heart is the hardest part
Moving on (People, my people, I'm leaving)
But sleeping the day away
Moving on (People, my people, I'm leaving)
From all of my thoughts today
All the scenes I keep replaying only make me angry
From another point of view could someone understand me?
Caught up with myself with thoughts and words we've never spoken
Keep it all inside too long and everything will be broken
You stopped me at the supermarket, asked me how I'm doing
Once again I'm lying to you, tell you that I'm alright
Everything between us seem to sadly fade away
Til' there's only me, your photograph and every Sunday
Mary my love, it's late
And I'm tired of myself, this isn't leading anywhere
Mary I've realized
I'm just selfish jealous guy, but this is me letting you go
Goodbye
People my people, forget what I've done
I'm off down the highway, straight into the sun
Moving on
Sleeping the day away
Moving on
Sleeping the day away
There'll be no happy end for romantic fools like me
All we do is run while love is bleeding in the streets
We have our whole damned lives to wear our problems down
And then we say the words:
"I love you", when the words don't mean a thing
(Moving on) Crossed the Rubicon, I'm moving on
(Moving on) Keep the memories, this town is yours
