Cold And Lonely

[Intro] This one's for you old man Ah I'm gonna need a drink for this one [Verse 1] Happy Father's Day, or as I say... Father's Day Misery seeks company Public absentee number one, so I'll just call it another day In the life of a son of a gun, A.K.A. weapon Indirect way to take shots at my mum Grew up everyday on SMA Grown, giving back, single mothers appreciation Favour for a favour Carrying the same grudge, consensus Remain bitter, out of flavour with the pretentious Claim defenceless, the shame is endless Psychological trip, start to end this, for the sake of the kids Taking the piss and then leave us to deal with the shit That's something a good father never did Emotions won't flood the memories, still waters run deep Takes more than blood to be a family Like it takes more than words to earn your keep Would rather play games than console thee An early variable of a future cold and lonely [Chorus] Father's Day, not everybody can relate Mother's Day, not everybody can relate To those who can, don't wait for just one date Always appreciate, don't wait before it's too late Father's Day, not everybody can relate Mother's Day, not everybody can relate To those who can't, don't hate just for the sake Make a change, if not, then it's down to fate [Verse 2] June the twenty something or another Take on the role of a father being an older brother Step up to the mark Thinking how to shadow the footsteps of a man in the dark Light up the path, carry the torch, had to mature No more hanging on the porch Changing the times, turning to rhyme, useful distraction I stand by my actions That's the difference between us, opposite demeanours Broke support, no rapport, when we were being taken to the cleaners Swept under the carpet, like a leaf from your book Never read too far into things, a lie is all it took To keep the atmosphere, but I'm not as stupid as you look Same excuse every year, to why you disappear every time an event is near Seek answers from beer Breakdown of communications Now everyone suffers similar consequences for different occasions No one ever built bridges by sitting on fences Come to your senses [Chorus] Father's Day, not everybody can relate Mother's Day, not everybody can relate To those who can, don't wait for just one date Always appreciate, don't wait before it's too late Father's Day, not everybody can relate Mother's Day, not everybody can relate To those who can't, don't hate just for the sake Make a change, if not, then it's down to fate [Verse 3] Are we still here, with no progress? Typical case of the more something is said, it makes you wanna do it less The more you're told no, the more you tell yourself yes You know you've done wrong but your pride is stuck in your chest Playground quarrels, anger over morals Bad example set from a silhouette, supposed to be role model It's easy to forget when your heart is set, matter over mind It's hard to accept you've lost, no matter what you find No regrets, no more second best, no forgiveness, 'cause mud sticks It seems you can't teach an old dog new tricks And fortune doesn't lie in candle wicks or biscuits Bad choices not even flowers can fix, the stigma still exists I'm not doing this to look cool or I would've taken up smoking in secondary school This is to help you, find what's been missin' Since trying, this is the last means I have of getting through to you From Mr hoping you'll listen [Chorus] Father's Day, not everybody can relate Mother's Day, not everybody can relate To those who can, don't wait for just one date Always appreciate, don't wait before it's too late Father's Day, not everybody can relate Mother's Day, not everybody can relate To those who can't, don't hate just for the sake Make a change, if not, then it's down to fate [Outro] Shoutout to all the real parents who stuck by their responsibilities as a parent And thanks for everything mum
