about

My latest single calling out toxic masculinity, while tapping into my own relationship with my father.

lyrics

As long as I can remember
It was once a month I could see your splendor
Trying to form a connection
With empty gestures and good intentions

Ooh
A small part of my life
Ooh
And it kills me sometimes

I never saw my father cry
I never saw his softer side
But I found it there in my mother's eyes
And I'm gonna make things right
Because I never saw my father cry

Left my guitar in the bedroom
Picked up a ball cos I tried to impress you
Trying to form a connection
Watching the game just to get your attention

Ooh
I'm just numb sometimes
Ooh
And it kills me inside cos

I never saw my father cry
I never saw his softer side
But I found it there in my mother's eyes
And I'm gonna make things right
Because I never saw my father cry

It's a sign of weakness to
Show your feelings want to
Let it out but he
Don't know how so it's
Tears in the shower cos
He's not allowed
To show his emotions outside

Cos he never saw his father cry
And he never saw that softer side but i'll be
Man enough to break that divide
Yeah I'm gonna make it right
Because I never saw my father cry

My father cry
My father cry
My father cry
Cos I never saw my father cry
