You've crossed that line
for the final time
try to keep my head held high
but you're dragging me down
I know it's apart of life
But it doesn't mean
I don't stand up for my rights
Everyones singing about there haters
But I'm not sure anybody reads
What I write onto this paper

I don't think anyone can even
stand my voice
but what I put into my songs
is one hundred percent emotion
it's not easy telling stories about me
people think you're a poet
But I can guarantee
Just about everything I say
it's the truth
Don't need to live a double life
to make this reach you

Nobody's going to save you
From who you are
You have to keep on moving
Or this world will get to you
So baby keep on moving on and on

Cruising through the streets
in my Hyundai
Trying to figure out the next line
I want to make this the best rhyme
As you hang on these words
When I sing to you
You're still standing there
Trying to discover the truth
What is he saying
What does he mean
Is this really the way his feeling

Nobody's going to save you
From who you are
You have to keep on moving
Or this world will get to you
So baby keep on moving on and on

See so much confusion
when I look at the crowd
But when I sing the melody
They scream my name out loud
Still can't figure out
where to go from here
everything drowns out
trying to be sincere
Can't stop pretending
that I don't care
Can't stop procrastinating
This time will be the last time
I share my air
When my lungs
are struggling to keep on running

Nobody's going to save you
From who you are
You have to keep on moving
Or this world will get to you
So baby keep on moving on and on

When everything felt
like it was starting to go right
The world backed out
and left me in the sand to die
Hey, I said I'm going to okay
Don't go looking at me that way
I don't give a ****,
You don't need to say
It's going to be alright
There are plenty of fish in the sea
I can't let this emotion go to waste
I can't let her go
I can't watch her walk away
Yeah you can look me in the eyeball
tell me everything will be alright
Well I've got news for you
I was already dead
Never really knew the cost
Oh no there goes my soul
Lost the last part of dignity
Got nothing left to show

Nobody's going to save you
From who you are
You have to keep on moving
Or this world will get to you
So baby keep on moving on and on

Guess this is all an illusion
Time to stop me from choosing
the path I'm going to be walking
Death or life, Better think twice
It's a big decision
I must have kept on forgetting
the drive that kept me going
for all of this time
I wonder if she ever looked back on her life
And felt something was missing
Did you realise that I'm not there
keeping you comfortable?
Yeah it's alright
There is no need to keep on fighting
Temptation get on the plane
Do another show, pretend I'm not alone
This is life, Don't want to grow old on my own
Should embrace it
Not sure if I'll even make it past thirty
It'll be a miracle if it wasn't real
but from I can see its crystal clear
I wasn't supposed to make it here

Nobody's going to save you
From who you are
You have to keep on moving
Or this world will get to you
So baby keep on moving on and on
