The Pain of Moving On Lyrics by Angie

The Pain of Moving On

Summer nights used to be so inviting
But they turn dark just the same
We look good standing in the right lighting
When the shadows hide away

It's been this way now for so long
I forgot what it was I was looking for
And I didn't realise how far I'd gone
Til I was in the backyard throwing bricks at your xbox

Look what we've done
Why'd we have to jump
This is not what love's
Supposed to become
I should've run
Like I've always done
But I'm not that strong
Instead I'll just prolong
The pain of moving on

Summer nights and the truths paralysing
The fabric of your stories fray
I'm not sure why we're still here trying
The world ended yesterday

It's been this way now for so long
We forgot what it was we were fighting for
And you didn't realise how far you'd gone
Til your watch broke punching the kitchen wall

Look what we've done
Why'd we have to jump
This is not what love's
Supposed to become
I should've run
Like I've always done
But I'm not that strong
Instead I'll just prolong
The pain of moving on

It's been this way now for so long
We lost sight of what's right now it's all so wrong
And I didn't realise how far we'd gone
Now a thread's all we're left with to hold on

Look what we've done
Why'd we have to jump
This is not what love's
Supposed to become
I should've run
Like I've always done
But I'm not that strong
Instead I'll just prolong
The pain of moving on
