Lyrics
He wakes up has a drink or two
He has two more to follow suit
By 12 he’s falling down the stairs
By 1 he’s claiming no one cares
He struggles to iron his clothes
He said that he’d be out till god who knows
And his badge is fixed to his left arm
He stinks of drink yet he’s still calm
What a way to live your life my father
Each drink it drowns your son and daughter
And I know that it hurt
But you didn’t have to go and do your worst
And I wanna shout
And I wanna scream until my walls come tumbling down
Onto what you’ve done
To your son
He wakes again and blows off work
He looks at me and gives a smirk
It’s a smirk I’ll never see again
The drink it’s stolen my best friend
And you always said you couldn’t think
So is that why you chose the drink
Or was it he that came to you
He touched your heart your lips turned blue
And I know that it hurt
But you didn’t have to go and do your worst
And I wanna shout
And I wanna scream until my walls come tumbling down
Onto what you’ve done
To your son
But I’m still your son

[@mj6480]

came here after i heard he is a tour opener for Louis Tomlinson (what an honour!) - I do not regret discovering this guy

[@eratokaragiannaki9515]

i can actually see the pain in his eyes. it kills me knowing the fact that it is so hard for him to perform this and its something really personal. the power and the strength that he has is unbelievable. love you man.

[@nickpalmer3076]

Very powerful

[@Antseldonmusic]

Most underrated songwriter ever ❤

[@mouseanona1614]

Deserves so much more attention. Stunning. Heartfelt. Emotional. Amazing.

[@craigmunro4539]

Sorry for your loss very blow full song son keep going with your life never give up❤😢😊❤😢

[@jasminekennedy8822]

Has me in tears. My dad was an alcoholic when I was a kid in 70's & 80's...... really hits hard 😢

[@ianhutchinson2142]

Same here. So many memories just like the one described in the song.

[@bullseye272001]

Same 😢

[@ariadnaestrauss3895]

It's hearthbreaking, especially because it's really what he has experienced as a son.

[@kaykaygaming1205]

Seeing him perform in public with Louis Tomlinson he was so good

[@LODodod]

Seen him live on Wednesday.. fucking unreal.

[@adamscott5144]

Such a powerful song!! Unbelievable live too 👏👏

[@bonasca]

I didn't really *hear* this song until I heard it live a few ago. And heard doesn't describe it; felt is more accurate. Everyone around me was moved to tears. The room and crown were small that night, but the impact of that song was enormous.

[@heathermoschberger3916]

Brings me to tears, the hurt you are experiencing. Heard it live the first time, cried then too. Unfortunately, lost my mom to alcoholism so I felt incredibly seen and understood when I heard this song. You are so brilliant Andrew. Such an outstanding singer/songwriter. Your songs are very special to me. Can't wait to see you again. Much love.

[@ianbirchnall5672]

Saw you sing this at Nottm Rescue Rooms with such emotion that you and most of the audience were in tears. Ive not seen that before and you now have a new devoted fan. Album ordered and i shall be looking out for future tours, as im not missing out. What a talent you are 👏👏👏💪

[@charliemillett9987]

Both mum and father were both alcoholics so this resonates with me so much x

[@carriemccuen1041]

Saw you perform this last night. Absolutely crushed me. Had to come here and hear it again on Father’s Day. I lost him 3 years ago to alcoholism. Keep writing beautiful, meaningful songs! You did great!

[@Caroline-vu4uq]

So powerful, hits you right to the core. Amazing song, harrowingly beautiful, all credit to the production on this song and the video. No gimmicks needed to have such a massive impact.

[@user-AnastasiaLa]

I feel so much love and compassion for you. It's always not easy to talk about it. You're very brave. And very talented. Your voice is smth insane. Such an amazing, soulful and deep song. Thank you for sharing it with us. Send you a huge hug. I'm your massive fan.

[@cathylevangie2359]

Such a powerful song.❤

[@rruterbusch]

Tragic. Beautiful. Feeling all the feelings. Thank you Andrew.♥️

[@ProudToBeALouie]

Him singing without music just hits me to the core. I know too well what he talks about. I could forgive my father and he got his punishment - he left at an early age. But it still hurts. Congratulations Andrew! Beautiful song.

[@mikeporter5015]

Such an Incredibly honest, and powerful account. The fact he’s a Geordie and one of wor own,. Proud of you Andrew for having the courage to write such a personal song. The very first play of this literally blew me away 😢 Geordie boy done good Wor kid ✊🏻x

[@ludowuyts2475]

Amazing song. I just found out about you through the "Brit Pop Reacts" channel. This year, I have discovered so much incredible British talent that I started an entire Spotify playlist under that title, and your entire catalog just got added to it. It all started when I discovered Ren in January. I am looking forward to discovering more of your music. God bless you.

[@UrbanExplorerLewis]

Been waiting for this, love it andrew❤️
