Father Figure Video (MV)

When I was just a little boy
I remember days full of joy
Playing football on the beach
You'd lift me up when I couldn't reach
For a time you were always there
Except when you were off having your affairs
As I grew up I came to see
You were not the father you pretended to be

Haha look at me Pa, I'm on top of the world can you see that far
Look at the man that I've become, are you proud of me as your only son?
I've tried and tried to impress you but there's only so much that I can do
When life turned sour you were not there, it's hard to believe that you even care

When I was ten you walked away
And left us a broken family
We never saw you except for birthdays
You'd buy us trainers and some KFC
Then for months we never heard from you
I lost the only man I looked up to
As I grew older and could think for myself
I had to shutdown for my mental health

Now I'm all grown up with a wife of my own
I'll never do to her the things that you've done
If we have children I will give them my all
They'll never miss me, never wish I would call
Perhaps as an adult it is time to forgive
Oh how I'd like to, but I can't forget
Besides I tried, I've written to you
But no response, you're long overdue
