Barry II - 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 f*ck
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
