Broken Heart Lyrics

Trouble with the trolley aye

How could you do this?

How could you let him die?

How could you live while

He wasn't by your side?

How could you see him cry?

How could you see him

Cry?

My grandfather was a humble man

I don't understand

How a person could think of a worse a plan

Telling us his whole innings' ran

I don't think you can

Know what a person is capable of

So why would you treat him way worse than a dog

You didn't physically bury his body

You certainly picked up a shovel and dug

You gave every reason why you would neglect him

I'm hoping your dreams are just filled with regrets and

You're sorry for ending perfection

I hope that you get everything you deserve

I'm hoping your children will treat you way worse

I'm hoping that time will help heal up this scar

But I don't think anything could replace Pa

A man who was born at the bottom, in Tassie

You worked you way up to the top Pa you had me

Wishing for trips to the worsts of the states

But I would give up my whole world for your place

To go there again, and see my old friend

The person who showed me the way to be great

But I cannot visit, the person I knew

Cause all of those memories seem to be skewed

You daughter, she told me, you died feeling blue

Your heart it was broken

You gave up on hope and

You never thought this'd be your life but it's true

All of the people you loved and you cared for gave up it's the truth

Except for my mother, my sister and me

We were the ones who there for you always you better believe

And I hope you look down from the heavens and see

That the world is much better and you were the key

Allan, I know that you just couldn't fathom the thought

Of leaving your children without you but Pa

I promise to always look after your favourite

She is just gold, like taking the U out your name, if

You ever got plans then u best get acquainted

Time spent in reconnaissance, is never time wasted

How could you do this?

How could you let him die?

How could you live while

He wasn't by your side?

How could you see him cry?

How could you see him

Cry?

Don't you just wish that their age wouldn't weary them

Don't you just wish that the years never could condemn

If I had one wish I wish for more wishes and use them all up on a wish, I could see again

How Pa's doing

Man I'm tearing up

The fact that you died of a broken heart, Pa that's real as fuck

I'm weeping, I'm sobbing, I'm missing you most

You passed away more than a whole year ago

But I can still see you, you're sitting that chair

You're listening closely, I see that you care

I'm telling you all the stories, I bet you'd be proud

I'm studying law, I'll change the whole world cause you showed me the how

I'm happier than I have possibly been

Pa can you see?

Pa are you there?

Are you still listening?

But I regret most, that I made a post

A TikTok at the exact time that you'd go

A dumb video of me saying that I would be famous

And some chick would regret saying no

Well I haven't thought of her in over a year

A day doesn't go by I'm missing you here

That was my first time a post got some views

Complaining inside of my car like a douche

I said in verse two

That I was there for you, that just wasn't true

Cause I was more focused on getting a root

And I will regret for the rest of my life

The fact that you simply couldn't survive

If only I tried

My mother was your only beacon of hope

It wasn't your time Pa, why did you go?

Look at me blaming the others around

My toxic trait is not knowing the how

How to take blame

Look at it, stare at it, dumb in the face

Admit when I'm wrong

Look Pa I wrote you this song

You can come back now

I know I'll be strong

I'm getting my start

I don't just make music, I'm making you art

I'm finally smart

But not smart enough

To un-break your heart

How could I do this?

How could I let you die?

How could I live while

You we not by my side?

How could I see you cry?

How could I see you

Cry?

Anyway it was so great to see you all here

And thank you again for coming

And I, hope to see you in ten years time when we'll do it all again
