I've spent the past four years
Talking to the same three people
And now it's too much just to bear
Cause I'm the only one who knows where to go from here
I don't wanna go
But it's what I have to do
I know through the rest of my life
I'll never forget a single one of you

But I'm moving on
Out of my hometown
Away from everyone I've ever known
And ever loved
By tomorrow I'll be gone
But I won't take this lying down
I'll hold on to all of the memories
Cause they're all that I've got left

As the shipyards fade into the distance
I don't know what to feel
On the one hand I am filled with joy
And not a single bit of this seems real
But then I remember all the ones
Who got me this far
I wonder what they'd think
And as I skip town, I wonder where they are

But I'm moving on
Out of my hometown
Away from everyone I've ever known
And ever loved
By tomorrow I'll be gone
But I won't take this lying down
I'll hold on to all of the memories
Cause they're all that I've got left

Nothing can stop me now
Cause I am on my own
There is nobody left who can tell me where to go
Nothing can stop me now
Cause I am on my own
Oh yes, I am on my own

But I'm moving on
Out of my hometown
Away from everyone I've ever known
And ever loved
By tomorrow I'll be gone
But I won't take this lying down
I'll hold on to all of the memories
Cause they're all that I've got left
