When My Daddy Was Around

Yo
So I'm sharing this story about my dad
Hope you enjoy

When my daddy was around I felt the love surround
It pounded through my veins now I'm falling like the rain (Yeah)
When my daddy was around I felt the love surround
It pounded through my veins now I'm falling like the rain (Yeah)
When my daddy was around I felt the love surround
It pounded through my veins now I'm falling like the rain (Yeah)
When my daddy was around I felt the love surround
It pounded through my veins now I'm falling like the rain (Yeah)

When I was a boy yeah
My dad bought me a toy yeah
From the two dollar shop
My mum told him to stop
My dad and my mum weren't doing so well
They told each other to go to hell
While my dad fell
Had to hear them shout
Every day every hour
Every day felt so sour
Eventually we moved out
We drove down to my grandparents one day
Hoping they'd give us a place to stay
After that I got to see my dad once a week
I missed him it felt bleak yeah
I wanted to start a streak
Where I saw him a lot
But at least I got to see him whether or not (Yeah)
We would band together and not untie our knot
Went out for lunch but mum and dad would always crunch
My dad had committed a crime with her
He never learned he hadn't earned her trust
He thought he must he probably still had a lust
But she left him in the dust
He was a veteran at heroine
Buried in his pillows acting like the weeping willows (Yeah)
One day my parents fought
I don't know what he thought he could achieve
He didn't even reach his goal it took it's toll on me
I know that underneath he feels shit
And thinks he's unfit for parenting
Gave up and the drugs sunk in
You were out there getting high
While I'm in here writing shit (Aye aye)
I wish my parents didn't collide
Because their relationship had died
For you and I you had to lie
I wish you made my mum your bride
I know you didn't try (Nope)
Get rid of your white lady
You made me
You called my mum your baby
Maybe you should think next time (Yeah)
It's hard not having a dad
It makes me feel bad inside
I'm always sad I miss you
When I am alone at night
I stare up at the moon (Aye)
I see you in the stars and sky
And hope I see you soon
(I hope I see you soon)

When my daddy was around I felt the love surround
It pounded through my veins now I'm falling like the rain (Yeah)
When my daddy was around I felt the love surround
It pounded through my veins now I'm falling like the rain(Yeah)
When my daddy was around I felt the love surround
It pounded through my veins now I'm falling like the rain (Yeah)
When my daddy was around I felt the love surround
It pounded through my veins now I'm falling like the rain (Yeah)

Falling like the rain
Falling like the rain yeah
Falling like the rain
Falling like the rain yeah
