Sad Songs For A Sad Day.

lukas graham - happy home

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 have 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

He should have heard the noise we made with the happy crowd

Did my grandaddy 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 gotta lot of love and a happy home

Magazines are writing stuff but I don't ever read them

Some of the folks I used to know would see and start believing

That I would pass them by on streets and never reach to greet them

I still remember folks even though I rarely meet them

Don't you know I miss the times when we used to hang

Before twenty deep depended on a single man

Before a single heart was broken by a single blow

Before all our careers depended on a single show

I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home

Now I got a lot of cash and I'm on a road

I realize privacy's becoming difficult

It's all right now but what about when I'm old

I know my good friends now they'll last

The same ones that stood by me when my daddy past

All I know is that we'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 time when they used to hang

Before a fan base 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 in a happy home

My daddy use 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 the perfect dad I wanna be the perfect son

Though I really feel sometimes I am on my own

I know I got a lot of love and a happy home
