"Man Of The House" lyrics

I never felt like the man of the house
Man, I had doubts if I did not
All the things I do know now, tough, yeah, I know
Still here, still hold it down

If I could turn back time, I would've punched up
No, I won't say it, can't say his name
That's foul, all I will say is that
Come and chat to me now
Had thoughts in my head that span me around
I had thoughts in my head where I didn't feel proud
Come home from nights out
Creeping around, quiet as a mouse
Out with the boys in town
I was off my nut in the Hare and Hounds
I was off my nut in the airport lounge
I was off my nut in the air and the ground
Am I a good dad? Well, it's yet to be found
That was years ago, don't beat myself up now
Wanna be better, be here, be more around
Every six fucking months or so
I end up in the lost and found
And you drag me back out

Jay's mum died and his old man's not around
He's become the man of his house
And I'm here complaining about my situation
Fucking out, even if I do a big show
And it don't sell out
I'm good from the guarantee, hooks two pounds
You might think that I don't know you well
But I do know you like I know myself
In hard times there's growth as well
And in dark times there's hope as well
I love you, man, you love me as well
There's been things that might not help
But it's worth trying, it's not worth crying
Couldn't think of any more worse timing
But it's life, it's just trying
To make us grow into new things, not dying

I take my hands from my mouth
It's no good standing around
The thing that we have to be now
Is the man of the house
