Moving On Lyrics

We were young, and we were brave
With our eyes wide shut in the choices we made
Well, you lit the match, and I got caught with the flames

And your voice still rings out through my mind
And the thorns still twist down in my side
All the promises said that we left for dead in the night

Because I'm moving on, letting go
Forget the past
I'm giving up the ghost
All we are is fading stars
Life's too short to stay where we are
Forgive and let live and move on
Tell me that you're gonna make me stronger
Forgive and let live and move on
Forgive and let live and move on
Tell me that you're gonna make me stronger
Forgive and let live and move on

Maybe I'm broken
Maybe it's the fame
Maybe it's the moment you said I had changed
Where did 13 years go, like I didn't know you at all?

Because I'm moving on, letting go
Forget the past
I'm giving up the ghost
All we are is fading stars
Life's too short to stay where we are

Forgive and let live and move on
Tell me that you're gonna make me stronger
Forgive and let live and move on
Forgive and let live and move on
Tell me that you're gonna make me stronger
Forgive and let live and move on

I heard you were back with regrets, and you meant it
I had a reply to your text, never sent it
Well, bridges were burned in an accusation
Funny how time is the great revelation
Moving on, letting go
Forget the past
I'm giving up the ghost
All we are is fading stars
Life's too short to stay where we are

Forgive and let live and move on
Tell me that you're gonna make me stronger
Forgive and let live and move on
Forgive and let live and move on
Tell me that you're gonna make me stronger
Forgive and let live and move on
Forgive and let live and move on
Tell me that you're gonna make me stronger
Forgive and let live and move on
Forgive and let live and move on
Tell me that you're gonna make me stronger
Forgive and let live and move on
Forgive and let live and move on
Tell me that you're gonna make me stronger
Forgive and let live and move on

Kearney has stated that his legal name is Mathew due to a nurse's error on his birth certificate. He discovered the error while in the 8th grade when he noticed how his mom corrected the error with red ink, never legally correcting it. Since then, he embraced the one T in his legal name.
