How you are my hero How your never here though Remember times when you put me on your shoulders How I wish it was forever you would hold us Right now I'm too young to know How in the future it will affect me when you go You could have had it all You, me, and mum you know Anything was possible I wont be the lonely one Sitting on my own and sad A fifty year old Reminiscing what I had I wont be the lonely one Sitting on my own and sad Forget your dad, he's gone All I wanted was a kick-a-bout in the park For you to race me home when it was nearly getting dark How I could've been yours, and you be mine It could've been me and you until the end of time Do what you want, when you want Be as fucking insincere as you can What kind of way is that to treat your wife To see your son on Saturdays What way is that to live your life? I wont be the lonely one Sitting on my own and sad A fifty year old Reminiscing what I had I wont be the lonely one Sitting on my own and sad Forget your dad, he's gone
