Lyrics:
Sometimes things go unspoken
Sometimes its just cause we cant
Sometimes we dont make the time to
Sometimes we stray from our path
I know life wont be perfect
And sometimes things’ll get hard
But I’m gon be ok
Cause i got your brave heart

Where do I start
Maybe the start, cause you were there then, and still yea here you are
With every challenge you past
Aint a doctor alive could ever tell me theres a problem with your heart
Lifes a fight, reality bites, time settles it
Routine tests turn life threatening
Regular week turns to triple bypass
Im in your room, the night before it, after visiting hours
Got two choices, say everything and leave here a mess
Or keep my head, accepting some things may never get said
Tough call, for your sake I chose the latter
In that moment, how I felt didnt matter, my voice cracking on that last hug
“See you tomorrow” hit different when you might not
Left you my headphones, new demos
Kissed you cheek in your hospital bed, watched your eyes close
And I cried the whole drive home


Didnt sleep a wink that night, mum the same
Steph the same, told us dont worry, shut up mate
Alone with my thoughts, all circling in a race
None winning, staring at the ceiling 4am awake
Mad at myself for every time I missed a call
Every time I bailed when I said id see you tomorrow
Every math lesson skipped
For every training session missed
What id give for one kick
Every time you told me be better and Id just dip
How every time we fought and I swore that id prove you wrong but never did
Cause ever since I was born you put me over everything
So when we did fight, the right thing was always the side of the fence you’re in
Every time the world against me, always had my back
I forget a lot, but ill never forgot that
Spent the whole damn night praying for you dad
Promised god Id say it all just give me another chance cause


Success, now since we blessed with more time
Let me get some things off my chest, if yall dont mind
Cause I could have the song run the length of the whole album
Still couldn’t get nearly enough words out about ya
How to be a good man, realise it more I’ve grown
The blueprint for a dad when I have kids of my own
Taught me Men dont cry, but im your boy til my last day
And i felt all of that with each tear stinging my face
Been learning a lot, bout the need to give people their flowers before they’re off
And if theres a list of those id ever want
To know I dont just give em their flowers, id buy the shop, there’s you sat at the top
Say never meet your heroes, met mine on day one
Been the Honour of my life, Ive gotten to be your son
All the years of hearing demos, one missing all along
But no more, my unsung hero got his song, love you dad
