DAD

My dad's gone and he ain't never coming back
Is this the part where my life fades to black
Mum was like no no no no no no no no no no
Don't cry no more
Mum was like no no no no no no no no no no
Don't cry no more
You was raised by a king and you will always be followed
By your father's shadow
You was raised by a king and you will always be followed
By your father's shadow

Love when i dream about him
Hate when i wake up and realise i've only dreamt about him
I need to think about him
Hate when a day goes and i ain't even think about him
Where would i be without him
Right here on a plane
Trying to stop myself from crying as i write about him
I write this song slow
Cause my eyes keep on filling up with tears
Every time i let the pen go
Breathe
I smell the clothes in his wardrobe to find him
I can't smell him anymore
I can't find him
I need reminding
I need someone to tell me this was all a joke
And they know exactly where he's hiding
Show me the hidden door
And allow me to stand beside him
Breathe

My dad's gone and he ain't never coming back
Is this the part where my life fades to black
Mum was like no no no no no no no no no no
Don't cry no more
Mum was like no no no no no no no no no no
Don't cry no more
You was raised by a king and you will always be followed
By your father's shadow
You was raised by a king and you will always be followed
By your father's shadow

Every time i write a bit i cry more
Every time i think i'm getting over inside i die more
This feeling this feeling is fucked up
I'm crying i'm screaming in silence
Nobody nobody no guidance
I see why some turn to violence
I ain't angry i'm alone
I miss you picking up the phone
I miss you smiling in the kitchen
I miss your face
I miss the way that we would talk
Eat with a spoon and not a fork
I could tell you anything
But now your lion's lost his king

My dad's gone and he ain't never coming back
Is this the part where my life fades to black
Mum was like no no no no no no no no no no
Don't cry no more
Mum was like no no no no no no no no no no
Don't cry no more
You was raised by a king and you will always be followed
By your father's shadow
You was raised by a king and you will always be followed
By your father's shadow
