 BEHIND THE MASK OF BEAUTY

Moving On


It's funny how you don't realize
What you've got until it's gone
Then you try your best
To get over it and just move on

When you're with someone
You know their yours and won't go away
But then things go wrong
And they no longer want to stay

You don't see the signs
Maybe because you're not paying attention
when they ask to talk to you
You don't bother to listen

You figure you've got time
Because that person will always belong to you
Then their tired of trying, say good-bye
And you don't know what to do

You suddenly realize
The one you love is gone
You start to begin to wonder
What you did wrong

If only you would have listened
To what that person had to say
If only you would have made the time
Maybe they wouldn't have gone away

They put up with so much
You don't realize what you put them through
You never made time for that person
When they really needed you

You start to feel alone
You try your best to stay strong
You realize how much you loved and needed them
But they have already moved on
