[Verse 1]
I got caught up in this feeling (Hey, hey, oh)
It's been weighing down my soul (Hey, hey, ooh-ooh)
Heart is broken but still beating (Hey, hey, oh)
Funny, you were the last to know
[Chorus]
So, I'm movin' on, movin' on
'Cause the best is yet to come
Once a part of me, the memories' never gone, gone, gone
I'm movin' on, movin' on
Said, "Goodbye", I said, "So long"
Once a part of me, the memories' never gone, gone, gone
[Verse 2]
Tried to give me smoke and mirrors (Hey, hey, oh)
Always kept me on my toes (Hey, hey, ooh-ooh)
Wonder if you think about me, yeah (Hey, hey, oh)
Funny, how you let me go, oh-oh
[Chorus]
So, I'm movin' on, movin' on
'Cause the best is yet to come
Once a part of me, the memories' never gone, gone, gone
I'm movin' on, movin' on
Said, "Goodbye", I said, "So long"
Once a part of me, the memories' never gone, gone, gone
[Post-Chorus]
Gone, gone, gone
[Bridge]
Each story has an end
It twists and turns, it bends
Just to restart again (Hey, hey, ooh-ooh)
So many years I've spent
Not knowing who I've been
I'm back on my feet again
[Chorus]
So, I'm movin' on, movin' on
'Cause the best is yet to come
Once a part of me, the memories' never gone, gone, gone
I'm movin' on, movin' on
Said, "Goodbye", I said, "So long"
Once a part of me, the memories never gone, gone, gone
[Outro]
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
