Moving On

I'm a tell y'all something that most of y'all don't know know 
I don't ever put it out there always keep it on the low 
There's a softer side of me that I hardly ever show 
My father use to be there 
But that was ages ago
He got into a habit that's really hard to shake 
He started doing drugs man he put his life at stake 
He kept making me promises he said he'd never break 
But little does he know that **** made my heart ache 
I use to cry at night while laying in my bed 
That feeling of not knowing if he's alive or if he's dead 
I had stop caring to get those thoughts out of my head 
I don't know why he never stuck to anything he said 
But I moved on from that 
Man it isn't even worth it 
I had to understand that really no body is perfect 
I know it's not my fault i know I don't deserve it 
The bridge that we created yea I know I had to burn it 
Like I don't need you anymore 
I can't believe I fell for what I fell for 
But it's not my loss it's yours 
Yea I moved on and I closed that door 
I know that I am strong I know I am right 
And I hope you right your wrongs
it's that I had to write this song 
You had a father role but you didn't play along
