Hedegaard, Lukas Graham - Happy Home lyrics

Mama called about the paper
Turns out they wrote about me
Now my broken heart's the only
Thing that's broke about me
So many people should have seen
What we got going on
I only wanna put my heart
And my life in songs
Writing about the pain I felt
With my daddy gone
About the emptiness I felt when I sat alone
About the happiness I feel when
I sing it loud
He should have heard the noise we
Made with that happy crowd
Did my granddaddy know he taught
Me what a poem was?
How you can use a sentence
Or just a simple pause
What will I say when my kids
Ask me who my daddy was?
I thought about it for a while
And I'm at a loss
Knowing that I'm gonna live my
Whole life without him
I found out a lot of things
I never knew about him
All I know is that I'll never really be alone
'Cause we gotta lot of love and a happy home

Magazines are writing stuff but I
Don't ever read them
Some of the folks I used to
Know would see and start believing
That I would pass them by on streets
And never reach to greet them
I still remember folks even though
I rarely meet them
Don't you know I miss the times
When we used to hang?
Before twenty deep depended on a single man
Before a single heart was broken
By a single blow
Before all our careers depended
On a single show
I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
Now I got a lot of cash and I'm on the road
I realize privacy's becoming difficult
It's alright now
But what about when I'm old?
I know my good friends, now they'll last
The same ones that stood by
Me when my daddy passed
All I know is that we'll
Never really be alone
'Cause we got a lot of love and a happy home

I write a lot of songs
Will anybody ever read them?
You hear them on the radio
But will you really read them?
Why do we have our idols and
Why do we wanna be them?
After we see them on TV
We really wanna meet them
Don't you think they miss the times
When they used to hang?
Before a fan base depended on a single man
Before a single heart was broken
By a single show
Who's gonna stand, who's gonna fall
I really wanna know
I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
My daddy used to play me
Vinyl but now daddy's gone
I used to practice with my mommy on the piano
I still get nervous every time I
Know she's at a show
Now my family comes first before everyone
I had the perfect dad
I wanna be the perfect son
Though I really feel sometimes I am on my own
I know I got a lot of love and a happy home
