HEARTBREAKING Michael Bennett's Soul Stirring After I'm Gone Performance!

You don't call me anymore You just say you're busy I see you laughing with the world But you don't make time for me You walked past everything I gave Like it was nothing at all I gave you my whole life You can't give me one call I'm still your father Why do I feel erased? Yeah, I had flaws Yeah, I got loud But I never once walked out Pain Every ignored text Every misnamed When the wood hits dirt And the crowd goes home You finally understand What it means to be alone You say you love me You cry on cue But love shows up Why didn't you? I was here I was breathing You just stopped believing And I was sick You didn't know And I was weak You didn't show You never asked if I was okay You never missed me enough to stay I waited for you You never came Now I'm just a fading name I told myself you'd come around But hope gets quiet without a sound After a wish you tried You'll replay night You let me cry You'll stand there Shaking hands in regret Wishing you could undo What you chose to forget You say you love me Maybe you did But love isn't words It's what you give Jesus forgives I hope he does Because one day You'll answer for us And he'll ask you Simple and plain Why you never came After I'm gone What's my picture? Don't say my name If you couldn't show up While I felt the pain I was here I was alive You just thought I had more time You'll finally see You didn't lose me They shook I missed my own dreams So you could chase The ones you took I stood outside in the cold So you could sleep in warm light I swallowed every fear Just to keep you alright Now I sit alone In a house I built for us You pass my name in silence Like I'm someone you don't trust You left me here waiting You don't even try Yeah, I made mistakes I wasn't easy to love But I never stopped showing up It's dark When the sound of goodbye Finally starts to hurt You'll wish you came You'll wish you stayed You'll replay every call You never made You'll say you love me You'll swear you cared But love shows up And you weren't I was here I was alive You just thought I had more time You'll stand before him alone And he'll ask you why You never came
