Gotta Move On

November 2003

I’m constantly thinking about the past
When I should be over it and head to the future
Crying over something that happened months ago
When I should be dealing with the present instead

[Chorus:]
Cause I gotta move on
I’m brave and I’m strong
I was brave in the past
Why can’t I be now
I don’t want to be a girl
Who lives in the past
I want to be a girl
Who lives in the present

I’m never thinking straight
I’m always falling behind
I better keep my grip
Before I fall back down that cliff

[Chorus:]
Cause I gotta move on
I’m brave and I’m strong
I was brave in the past
Why can’t I be now
I don’t want to be a girl
Who lives in the past
I want to be a girl
Who lives in the present

I’ve gotta move on

I Was Asleep

March 2nd, 2024

Do I have anything new to say
I guess that I don’t know
My dream last night
Was hard to let go
Realization in the middle
That things were not real
When it’s what I want
But I need to heal
Did I go along with it
The details are fading
I want to remember
These thoughts are invading
But I know I won’t recover
Until I walk away
Even in my dreams
I can’t let you stay

I Feel Bad For Maddie

February 23rd, 2024

I once had a friend
But he made it something more
I was okay with that
I had feelings to explore

But he wasn’t who
I had believed him to be
Cause I found out the truth
Now I feel bad for Maddie

[Chorus:]
Maddie, Maddie
He never mentioned her
Maddie, Maddie
Don’t know how this occurred

I don’t know what to think
I thought he was my friend
Who moved on to another girl
I thought that was the end

But he’s a narcissist
I thought the problem was me
Except he had a girlfriend
And I feel bad for Maddie

[Chorus:]
Maddie, Maddie
He never mentioned her
Maddie, Maddie
Don’t know how this occurred

Here we go again
Another guy who lies
But I found out the truth
And now he can’t deny

How many girls were there
I know at one point three
I hope she knows the truth
Cause I feel bad for Maddie

[Chorus:]
Maddie, Maddie
He never mentioned her
Maddie, Maddie
Don’t know how this occurred

Maddie, Maddie
I swear I didn’t know
Maddie, Maddie
I hope you’ve let him go
