lyrics

Heaven knows a broken heart will age you
Wasting time thinkin’ ‘bout who betrayed you
In time you’ll come to know that shit don’t matter
You’ll understand it’s nothin’ more than chatter in your head
Draggin’ bodies too long dead – weighing you down
So, get out of your way, if you’ve got nothin’ left to say
Keep movin’ on now

If your truth is that you’re so messed up you’re nothin’ more than pieces
And you don’t know just where to go so you go where the release is
I’m tellin’ you, my wayward friend, it’s nothin’ more than sorrow
The truth is that this, too, shall pass – keep pushing for tomorrow

When I was young, I feared far too much
And I shrank back from that freeing, healing touch
From those who tried to show me life beyond me
But I was stuck in time just like a zombie – in my head
Draggin’ bodies too long dead – weighing me down
But then I got out of my way, I said all I had to say
I’m moving’ on now
Yes, I got out of my way, I said all I had to say, this is my song now

If your truth is that you’re so messed up you’re nothin’ more than pieces
And you don’t know just where to go so you go where the release is
I’m tellin’ you, my wayward friend, it’s nothin’ more than sorrow
The truth is that this, too, shall pass – keep pushing for tomorrow

Keep lookin’ past what holds you back
You’re not your past, so don’t look back
Keep lookin’ past what holds you back
You’re not your past, so don’t look back
