MOVIN' ON

If someone doesn’t want me, am I required to feel bad?
If I give everything I can, should I be less than glad?
Why should I have a broken heart if I gave what was true?
I’m moving on without her. Yes, that’s just what I’ll do.

I’m going to miss her smile, and probably her laugh.
I’m going to have to give up considering her my better half.
I’m going to feel a loss since she'd become my everything.
But with my head held high I’ll allow my dignity to sing.

I am only capable of answering for me.
When I fell in love with her, there was no guarantee.
So even though I made a place for her here in my heart.
I’m moving on to other things – it’s a brand new start.

I spent a day depressed and sad before my head came clear.
I almost ditched sobriety and downed an ice cold beer.
My pity pot was nearly full – my thoughts were filled with doom.
But when I viewed this rationally, for gloom I found no room.

It took a while for me to see that rejection’s just a myth.
How can I lose what isn’t mine? This secret is the pith.
So with a smile and confidence I boldly face the day.
For even though she isn’t mine, I’m going to be okay.
