Gem in the Rough (feat. Idanesi Momoh)

[Verse]
Sorry that my phone's on silent when you call
Sorry that my tone gets higher when I fall
But you’re by my side after all
Sorry that I didn’t do the dishwasher
Or brush my teeth
See I was too busy getting pissed
Through dishonour on the street
Apologies
Sorry that I don’t acknowledge your love enough
Sorry that I didn’t straighten up for photos
Say cheese you told us
Hugh please, your cuffs, fix them up
Sorry Mam
There’s women in my life
But there’s only one woman
There’s love in my life
But nothing compares to her loving me
Simplicity
With a cuppa tea
And a chat
How was your day Hugh?
You know it was crap
Yeah, I just like to ask
I’m sorry that I didn’t say hello to Nan
I’m just worried that she’ll see me grow to a man
From a boy
Causing havoc
To a man
Being dramatic
Cause I’m still a boy at heart
And I know you see that through your eyes
And men cry too that’s not the issue
But you were always by my side with a smile and a tissue
I’m sorry

[Hook]
I am lost without you
Broken, hopeless and bruised
I am lost without you
Broken, hopeless and bruised

[Verse]
I’m sorry that Mother’s Day was shit and we couldn’t handle it
You see I know you deserve the world
But all I could afford was a candle
But you know I meant it
And plus it was scented
Sweet vanilla
I know that’s your favourite
Lights in the garden to light up your world
Just a tad
Old photos shown to me of a girl and her dad
“Shit is that Mam?”
Sorry that I had problems with the police
I know you told me hold in your pain
Remember Hugh it’s just a name
Sticks and stones
But it all just seems the same
Five souls in a home pictured in a frame
I know you said to quite the smokes try a different approach
To stress
Bird feeds the baby bird in the nest
Synonymous to that midnight caress
As you would hold me to your chest
And I’d forget about the rest
Cuz she suffered beautifully
Sorry I didn’t know what to do
Cuz this was new to me
Squeeze the juice so fruitfully
Gave me space to choose, opportunity
I swear when I get money
I’ll buy you lots of jewellery or chocolate
None of that gluten-free shit
That’s toxic
And sorry for my crudity during puberty
When I was acting stupidly it just suited me

[Hook]
I am lost without you
Broken, hopeless and blue
I am lost without you
Broken, hopeless and blue
I am lost without you (I told you I was sorry)
Broken, hopeless and blue (What else I gotta do?)
I am lost without you (Lies behind the truth)
Broken, hopeless and blue

[Outro]
Cuz you said I could rule the world
But every king needs a Queen
Every sting needs a clean
Every team needs a dream
Every cake needs some cream
I’m just happy you’re my mother cuz I’m living in your dream
I could apologise a thousand times
For the rotten smiles and fallen crimes
But bad memories don’t outweigh my mother’s eyes
Those wrongful lies
I should have tried
But I had other things in mind
One last apology
Cause this one’s from honesty
I’m sorry
