Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song while I was working as a technical writer for an abusive consulting firm that mistreated many of its employees. To give you a better idea, I was working on a client site and always was a great performer/producer, but for some reason, this company still felt that I wasn't "up to par" with their "core values" and that I was not a "value added" to their company. There were many other stupid buzz words, but in short, I worked there for over 3 years and only got one 5% raise. Corporate America sucks. ;)
Song Description
Very simply, this song is about moving on from a bad situation or relationship because there were promises that were made and never kept. The singer is the voice of someone who has had enough and will no longer accept the current situation, so she is moving on. This is a great anthem for self-reliance and independence.

Lyrics
Why don't you
just come on let me go?
Just turn around
and go on shut that door.
I'm sick of you,
and we know this won't play.
So why don't you
just save this for another day?
I'm leavin' you.
There's nothing you can do.
You had your chance
to change up this romance.
And now it's done,
so I am movin' on.
And now it's done.
Said I am movin' on...
All of it's done,
And I am movin' on (movin' on, movin' on, movin' on)
You closed it off.
Exactly what we know
what could have been
the oh so perfect show.
It was with ease
when you sealed our fate.
Try as you may,
you know that it is just too late...
I'm leavin' you.
There's nothing you can do.
You had your chance
to change up this romance.
And now it's done,
so I am movin' on.
And now it's done.
Said I am movin' on...
All of it's done,
And I am movin' on (movin' on, movin' on, movin' on)
I was so new--
so new to this whole game,
but now I know
exactly who's to blame.
You promised me
the things you couldn't keep,
and still you think--
I'm in this way too deep.
I'm leavin' you.
There's nothing you can do.
You had your chance
to change up this romance.
And now it's done,
so I am movin' on.
And now it's done.
Said I am movin' on...
All of it's done,
And I am movin' on (movin' on, movin' on, movin' on)
