I got a car from my dad

2021 

A Christmas that I won’t forget

Not sure it even felt like one 

 

Gave it up for rent 

Never thought the day would come 

Saw him cry for the first time 

Gave up the keys 

Lost a son

 

And my brother knows that I’ll be alright 

Cause I drove that car in the dead of night 

And we sang those songs like a million times 

Didn’t know that car could change my life 

 

There are so many things that I need to change

But I’m happy for us to stay the same 

So call me what you want 

I’ll always be your sun

 

Got a job I didn’t want 

But it paid for the alcohol 

Never felt so alone

A stranger in my home

Trying to be who you thought I was

 

You showed me how to love

Myself and I’m better now

I know it’s worth all the pain 

If it means that you’ll say

That I don’t have to hide away

 

And my brother knows that I’ll change my face

And I’ll wear that smile just to soothe the ache 

If he drove that car in the pouring rain

I would hold his hand and I’d take his place

 

There are so many things that need to change

But I’m happy for us to stay the same 

Call me what you want

I’ll always be your sun

 

God it hurts 

To see you look at me like that

Like some kind of alien 

I just hope you understand

 

You know what’s worse

The fear of being different 

It could lose me everythin’

I need you to understand

 

There are pieces of me that I need to change

But I know this love will stay the same

Call me what you want

I’ll always be your sun

 

There are lessons I’ve learned and mistakes that I’ve made 

And I’m grateful for all the love you gave

So call me what you want

I’ll always love you mum 

I’ll always be your sun
