Allan

Lyrics

[INTRO]
Oh Allan, what have you done?
Left your secrets out in the sun,
On those plates I took to Mum's,
Now she knows, now she knows what you've become.

[VERSE 1]
Skateboards in the driveway,
Memories from yesterday,
But this time when I walk through,
It's not the same, it’s not you.
I found your bag, lost in the mess,
Underneath the plates, what a deep, dark guess.
Wish I could erase all the stains of the past,
But the truth hits hard, too real, too fast.

[CHORUS]
Allan, you left your scoop and your dreams,
On those plates, tearing at the seams.
Mum's looking at me with those worried eyes,
Now I have to tell her about all your lies.
Allan, oh, Allan, what can I say?
You’re drowning in shadows, you’re fading away.
Mum won’t understand how you fell so low,
But I'll tell her the tale, I’ll let the truth flow.

[VERSE 2]
In the kitchen, silence reigns,
Mum’s voice trembling, full of pain.
"Who is this Allan?" she asks me again,
I look away, I can’t hold in the strain.
“Just a friend, Mums, just a boy on the street,
But he’s losing his fight, misery’s sweet.
Pills and powders in his pockets, can’t you see?
What he’s become is not who he should be.”

[CHORUS]
Allan, you left your scoop and your dreams,
On those plates, tearing at the seams.
Mum's looking at me with those worried eyes,
Now I have to tell her about all your lies.
Allan, oh, Allan, what can I say?
You’re drowning in shadows, you’re fading away.
Mum won’t understand how you fell so low,
But I'll tell her the tale, I’ll let the truth flow.

[BRIDGE]
And I’m caught in the middle, between love and regret,
Your life’s on a razor, I can’t help but fret.
With every word that I say, I’m trembling inside,
Should I protect you or let her collide?
But the consequences are real, can’t hide
