Father David

Became a father young as 21
Yeah you were still learnin yourself
Started out you, me an mum
Then my brother came along aswell
No matter what
No matter when
No matter where
You've always got
A helping hand
That u can spare
I lost the plot
Nowhere to go
An you were there

18 I moved home
I was hurting, an it showed
You helped me up, when I was low
Never gave up, you gave me hope
Drug addict, I was broke
Bad habits, Had no job
From Callin up at 2am
An Runnin from the cops
you were always there
An you always showed up
Yeah you never gave up
Always someone I can trust
Couldn't make this far
Without you, I'd be lost

An I know we have our days
But there's no one I could choose
That could ever replace you
An Now I'm grown I'm 22
An I see the shit you do
Helping everyone you know
You help me up, you help me grow
Taught me to value life
Over money, over guys
Cos a happy heart survives
An I'm happy I survived
Without you I woulda died
Woulda taken my life
I mean I already tried
But those nights I fuckin cried
I had you right by my side
I had to you to remind
Me of what I'm worth
An I hope I never see the day
That u leave this earth
Cos I know you said I'm brave
But I know its gonna hurt

So we makin the most of our days
Fuck around an get drunk with ya mates
In a car, on a boat, in a plane
Having fun, living life, everyday
An ya taught me to do the same
So now I'm living life
An makin music like I wanted
An I hope you know
That I'm proud to be your daughter
Cos there's no one else
That id want to be my father

No one else
That'd put up with my bullshit
No else could calm me down
When the triggers hit
No one else would stick around
When I'm being a bitch
No one else to help me out
When my cars in a ditch
Or I'm stuck outta town
An I can't find a lift
I know I can be a let down
But ya never made me feel it
Even when I bring myself down
Only ever lift me up
Even now that I'm an adult
I can do things by myself
But i know that when I need
You're always there to help me out
