Gotta move on
Gotta move on now
No time but the present
Gotta move within this moment
Fantasies collapse
When placed in real time
Tomorrow never happens
When deliberation confines
Gotta move on
Gotta move on now
No time but the present
Gotta move within this moment
Head cranks over shoulder
Leaving possibility behind
Small chance, just a guess
Truth will transpire
Not conspire
To take a rest
Gotta move on
Gotta move on now
No time but the present
Gotta move within this moment
Eyes lower
Shoulders slump
22 catches me again
Ego feeling dumb
Gotta move on
Gotta move on now
No time but the present
Gotta move within this moment
Good-bye to the potential
Of doing someone wrong
Blow away remnants of guilt
Knowing I never belonged
In a place where I forgot
Even my own name
Because when I ran,
A coward I became
When I stayed,
A whipping girl I remained
Gotta move on
Gotta move on now
No time but the present
Gotta move within this moment

I like this part a lot! Especially the part about forgetting your name, becoming a coward when running away and when you stayed you became a whipping girl. I like that imagery a lot!
