Moving On
Erica Mason Lyrics

Never fall for somebody that you can never keep
Don't invest your love in someone who is not capable of giving it back

Never let someone in your heart who ain't meant to be
Don't allow someone who is not meant to be in your life to take a place in your heart

I thought you were a keeper, thought you would never leave
I believed that you were someone worth keeping and would never leave me

But when you walked away, you walked all over me
When you left, you caused me a lot of pain and hurt

But now I thinking, I'm thinking about the memories
I am reflecting on the memories we shared together

Laying in your car, oh the things you used to do to me
I remember the intimate moments we shared in your car

You told me that you love me when you looked me in my eyes
You made me believe that you loved me when you looked me in the eyes

And I wanted to believe you cuz its truth in every lie right?
I wanted to believe that you loved me because there is some truth in every lie

But I knew it, man I knew this stuff was wrong
Deep down, I knew that what we were doing was not right

You got me running out of ink cuz I'm writing the same songs
I am writing the same songs over and over about my pain and heartache caused by you

She loves me she loves me not, he wants me I want to stop
I'm confused about my feelings, and I don't know if the person I'm with truly loves me

He's on top, now I'm stuck between this hard place, no rock
I am caught in a difficult situation and do not have anyone to turn to for support

Let it marinate, eventually you'll get it
Let it sink in, eventually you will understand

I'm searching for forgiveness so eventually I'll give it
I am seeking forgiveness and in time, I will give it to others as well

Cuz I can't make a living if I ain't giving off life
I cannot continue living if I am not giving love and positivity to others

Dead wrong in my heart but you letting me get it right lord
I was wrong in my heart, but I pray that through forgiveness and letting go, I can make things right

So if I stand before the masses let this passion
If I stand in front of many people, let my love and passion for life shine through

Be the fuel that burns up that burns up my past actions
Let my passion be the thing that helps me move on from my past actions

My ashes, that's what you gave me beauty for
Despite the pain and hurt you caused me, I will use it to make something beautiful out of the ashes

So many wounds but you took lashes for every sore
Despite my wounds and scars, you were there for me and helped me heal

Bottled up anger
I have been holding onto anger

But then you broke the glass
But thanks to you, I am finally able to let go of that anger

Everything I held onto, letting go of the past
I am finally learning to let go of the things that have been holding me back

Let it go, let it go, let it go
I am learning to let go of my pain and hurt

I can't hold go on
I cannot continue holding onto the past

Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go
I need to move on from my past and continue my journey

I'm moving on
I am finally moving forward with my life

Ever have that feeling, where you in your feelings
Have you ever felt so caught up in your emotions?

And you can't pin point how you feel, nah but you know that feeling
You know a feeling is there, but you cannot describe or understand it fully

When you put your hands on me, Stop, but I didn't
Although I knew it was wrong, I didn't stop you when you crossed a boundary

Truth be told I was afraid you leave me if I didn't
I was afraid you would leave me if I didn't allow you to cross that boundary

Giving you love, giving you life, giving me nothing back
I was giving you my all, but you were not giving anything in return

I done gave so much of me and I can't take it back
I have given so much of myself to you, and I cannot take it back

Giving this, giving you that, giving you everything
I was giving you everything I had to offer

Why you ain't give me nothing I lost everything
Why didn't you give me anything in return, and why did I lose everything because of it?

See I be searching, I be searching for that real love
I am constantly searching for true and genuine love

So many lovers but I never felt that real love
I have had many partners, but I have never truly felt genuine love from any of them

I met a woman who was like an older sister
I met a woman who was like a mentor or older figure in my life

But on the low nobody knew we were more than sisters
But we were secretly in a romantic relationship despite pretending to be just friends/sisters

Oh I should've known you took advantage of my innocence
I should have known that you were taking advantage of my naivety/innocence

That's why it takes a cross to make me treat you like you innocent
That is why I need to forgive you and treat you as innocent, despite what you have done

I'll lose me If I hold on, bitterness you gotta go
If I hold onto bitterness, I will end up losing myself in the process

I got a weak heart, a weak soul but a strong god now take control
I may have a weak heart and soul, but God is strong and can take control

Cuz I can't do this on my own and I own that
I cannot do this alone, and I take responsibility for that

Cuz true forgiveness is the moment I stop looking back
Forgiveness means that I stop dwelling on the past and looking back at the hurt and pain
