Blue October —
Moving on (So Long)

Lyrics and Music by Eric D. Holtz & Justin Förstenfeld

You always said
That I would never find a better one.
Well, look at me, I did that shit,
Well, come on now,
Well, come on now.

You always said
That I would end up alone, well,
Look at me, I’m on top of the world.
You were wrong now,
You were wrong now.

Bridge:
   You like it better
   When I’m falling apart,
   It’s easier for you
   To go and break my heart.
   Come on now, yeah,
   Come on now, oh-oh.
   Well, the best way
   To get back at you
   Is to live my life,
   Be happy and true,
   Come on now.

Chorus:
     Yeah, I’ve been hurt
     But I’m moving on
     So long, so long.
     Yeah, I’ve been hurt
     But I’m moving on
     So long, so long.
     We’ve all been hurt, yeah…

You’re not good for my soul,
The one who cares less
Always has control.
Well, I’m taking that back,
And you’ll be amazed.
‘Cause I only get better
Looking with age.

Bridge:
   You like it better
   When I’m falling apart,
   It’s easier for you
   To go and break my heart.
   Come on now, yeah,
   Come on now, oh-oh.
   Well, the best way
   To get back at you
   Is to live my life,
   Be happy and true,
   Come on now.

Chorus:
     Yeah, I’ve been hurt
     But I’m moving on
     So long, so long.
     Yeah, I’ve been hurt
     But I’m moving on
     So long, so long.
     We’ve all been hurt, yeah…

You’re not the one to give (oh-oh),
My life is mine to live (oh-oh).
You thought, I’d take you back, well,
Yeah, I’m not going to.

I wrote you a hundred songs (oh-oh),
So here’s your final one (oh-oh).
Now you’re the lonely one,
I’ll never take you back.

Chorus:
     So long, so long.
     (You always said
     That I would never find a better one.)
     Yeah, I’ve been hurt
     But I’m moving on
     So long, so long.
     (You always said
     That I would end up alone, well.)

     We’ve all been hurt
     But I’m moving on
     So long, so long.
     (You always said
     That I would never find a better one.)
     Yeah, I’ve been hurt
     But I’m moving on
     So long, so long.
     (You always said
     That I would end up alone, well.)

     We’ve all been hurt
     But I’m moving on
     So long, so long.
     We’ve all been hurt
     But we’re moving on
     So long, so long.
     We’ve all been hurt, yeah…
