Mama called about the paper, turns out they wrote about me Now my broken heart's the only thing that's broke about me So many people should've seen what we got going on I only wanna put my heart and my life in songs Writing about the pain I felt with my daddy gone About the emptiness I felt when I sat alone About the happiness I feel when I sing it loud We should've heard the noise we make with the happy crowd Did my granddaddy know he taught me what a poem was? How you can use a sentence or just a simple pause What will I say when my kids ask me who my daddy was? I thought about it for a while and I'm at a loss Knowing that I'm gonna live my whole life without him I found out a lot of things I never knew about him All I know is that I'll never really be alone Cause we got a lot of love and a happy home I write a lot of songs, will anybody ever read them? You hear them on the radio, but will you really read them? Why do we have our idols and why do we wanna be them? After we see them on TV, we really wanna meet them Don't you think they miss the times when they used to hang? Before a fanbase depended on a single man Before a single heart was broken by a single show Who's gonna stand, who's gonna fall, I really wanna know I grew up with a lot of love and a happy home My daddy used to play me vinyl, but now daddy's gone I used to practice with my mommy on the piano I still get nervous every time I know she's at a show Now my family comes first before everyone I had a perfect dad, I wanna be the perfect son Though I really feel sometimes I'm on my own I know I got a lot of love and a happy home Cause we got a lot of love and a happy home I know my good friends got better last The same ones that stood by me when my daddy passed All I know is that we'll never really be alone Cause we got a lot of love and a happy home
