She is only moving on
Chasing mirrors through a haze

Now that you know it's nowhere

What's to stop you coming home
A B
All you got to do is go there

Then you'll really realize what's going down
You went to a strange land searching
For a truth you felt was wrong
That's when the heartaches started
Though you're where you want to be you're not where you belong
