ren stedman - song for my mum & dad lyrics

[verse 1]
my parents had it harder than i did
they’d always give much more that i’d ever give
and the years i grew up, well i know that i treated them like sh+t

[verse 2]
my dad drove for miles round the country to take me
to 20+minute shows i got booked as an emergency act
as he drove down those roads i drove him round the bend

[pre+chorus]
and i hope i make up for it now
‘cause i’m trying to be a better person than i was
and i hope i can make you proud
be the kind of kid you used to love

[chorus]
and the time that we spend on our own
is the time we should make for our families and homes
’cause our friends we can choose and just as easily lose
but our families ain’t going nowhere
and the phone calls we say we will make
well they never happen but it’s only a minute to take
from our lives to say hi and i hope you’re alright
and just letting them know that you care
so this one’s for my mum and my dad and the rest
of my family to let them know they are really the best

[verse 3]
my mum picked the pieces up and put them in order
when i broke down crying and always ignored her advice
that she gave me i threw back but used in the end

[verse 4]
the sh+t she endured with my multiple phases
as soon as she understood one i would change it
to something much worse and obscure and it messed with her head

[pre+chorus]
and i hope i make up for it now
‘cause i’m trying to be a better person than i was
and i hope i can make you proud
be the kind of kid you used to love

[bridge]
i’ve made bad mistakes, left apologies too late
to make them mean something or compensate for anything
at all
but i’m desperately trying to show i definitely
need you much more than you need me, i know it’s much more
i know it’s much more

[verse 5]
my parents had it harder than i did
they’d always give much more that i’d ever give
and the years i grew up, well i know that i treated them like sh+t

[chorus]
and the time that we spend on our own
is the time we should make for our families and homes
’cause our friends we can choose and easily lose
our families ain’t going nowhere
and the phone calls we say we will make
well they never happen but it’s only a minute to take
from our lives to say hi, i hope you’re alright
and letting them know that you care
so this one’s for my mum and my dad and the rest
of my family to let them know they are really the best
