Story Behind The Song
From the writer: I wrote this song as a message to my ex-wife. I was in no way attempting to be hateful with her, but I wanted her to move on with her life and rebuild. The last lines say that we should just admit it and accept it and move on.

Lyrics
1.
We've been . . . together . . . all of . . . these years
We've raised up . . . our children . . . through laughter . . . and tears
But lately . . . you might see . . . a strange look in . . . my eyes
'Cause when I say . . . I love you . . . it's just . . . a lie
Chorus 1
Move . . . on . . . there's no . . . thin' left
It's all . . . gone . . . there's just emp . . . ti - ness
I'm sorry . . . for the heartache . . . all the pain, all . . . the loss
Let's just . . . admit it . . . and move . . . on
2.
You ask me . . . if I ever . . . really loved you . . . at all
To tell you . . . the truth . . . not that I can . . . re-call
And now I . . . should tell you . . . that I found some . . . one new
And I am . . . so sorry . . . for hur . . . tin' you
Chorus 2
Move . . . on . . . you know . . . we're through
I'm sorry . . . for the heartache . . . all the pain, all . . . the loss
Let's just . . . admit it . . . and move . . . on
