Intro:
Oh oh whoa yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh whoa oh yeah yeah yeah

Verse 1:
We were too young to know
that one day we would go
We're supposed to be BFFS
Never knew you'd have left

Bridge:
I don't want to let you go
But I got to let you know

Chorus:
Maybe it's time to move on
Maybe it's time for me to be gone
For you to have someone else
That won't get dusty on your shelf

Verse 2:
We've gone through hell
Only you and I could tell
Something wasn't right
We couldn't put up the fight
(anymore)

Bridge:
I don't want to let you go
But I got to let you know

Chorus:
Maybe it's time to move on
Maybe it's time for me to be gone
For you to have someone else
That won't get dusty on your shelf

Verse 3:
We didn't want this to happen
It wasn't something we could fathom
We lost who we were
So I think we're over

Chorus:
Maybe it's time to move on
Maybe it's time for me to be gone
For you to have someone else
That won't get dusty on your shelf

Maybe it's time to move on
Maybe it's time for me to be gone
For you to have someone else
That won't get dusty on your shelf

That won't get dusty on your shelf
Maybe it's time to move on

With all that I have left
I wish you the best
It's time to move on

5 stars of course!  Wow, another song writer in the family.  The sentiment in your song I think everyone can relate to.  And of course I love the oh ah whoa stuff at the beginning.

Indecision is excellent to write about! It kind of reminds me of a sad version of a poem I wrote recently. The image of dust on the shelf adds some sad emotion. Likelikelikelikelike!

Sage, Thank you so so much. Maybe one day they will be. I would love if you shared this with others. It'd be a great help to perhaps realizing that dream. :3 <3

These lyrics remind me that there is hope in the world, and in life. I would love to see this performed live, it would blow my socks off. <3

This is determined yet wistful. You can't get away from the longing--the way it should have been. Well written!
