Tell A Son

I was five, living life, everyday’s a friday
Start the day on the couch, disney on tv
Tie my shoes on my own, get my backpack ready
Running fast through the woods, screaming "mum catch me if you can"

In every single photograph
I’m smiling next to you and dad

Sometimes love make you hurt
Cause it don't always work out the way that you want
Sometimes two separate homes might be working a little better than one
Still remember the day and the look on your face
and the fear in your voice
Cuz how do you tell a son
mum don't love daddy no more

Turning 10 gathered friends for a birthday party
For the first time I showed them my father's house
Another week, pack my bag, see him sad, tell my dad I’m sorry
It’s my mums turn to have me this Christmas I hope that’s fine

In every recent photograph
It’s only either mom or dad

Sometimes love make you hurt
Cause it don't always work out the way that you want
Sometimes two separate homes might
be working a little better than one
Still remember the day and the look on your face
and the fear in your voice
Cuz how do you tell a son
mum don't love daddy no more

How do you tell a son
How do you tell a son
How do you tell a son mum don’t love daddy no more
How do you tell a son
How do you tell a son
How do you tell a son mum don’t love daddy no more
