After I’m Gone

[00:13.81] You don't call me anymore

[00:18.11] You just say you're busy

[00:20.70] i see you laughing with the world

[00:23.86] but you don't make time for me

[00:27.59] You walk past everything I gave

[00:30.75] Like it was nothing at all

[00:33.91] I gave you my whole life

[00:37.07] You can't give me one call

[00:39.65] I'm still your father

[00:44.82] Why do I feel erased

[00:52.58] Yeah I had flaws

[00:56.02] Yet I got loud

[00:59.76] But I never once walked out

[01:05.50] After I'm gone

[01:07.50] You'll feel this pain

[01:09.52] Every ignored text

[01:10.96] every missed name when the wood

[01:12.97] Hits dirt and the crowd goes home

[01:15.56] You'll finally understand

[01:16.99] what it means to be alone

[01:18.71] You'll say you love me you'll cry on cue

[01:22.15] when love shows up why didn't

[01:24.74] you I was here

[01:27.61] I was breathing

[01:30.20] you just stop believing

[01:38.53] when I was sick you didn't know

[01:41.69] when i was weak you didn't show

[01:45.14] you never asked if i was okay

[01:48.59] you never missed me enough to stay

[01:51.17] I waited for for you you never came

[01:55.19] Now I'm just a fading name

[01:57.78] I told myself You'd come around

[02:00.94] but hope gets quiet without a sound

[02:04.09] after I'm gone you wish you tried

[02:07.54] you replay nights you let me cry

[02:10.70] You'll stand there shaking hands in regret

[02:13.86] Wishing you could undo what you chose to forget

[02:17.01] You'll say you love me maybe you did

[02:20.45] but love isn't words it's what you give

[02:23.89] Jesus forgives I hope he does

[02:27.05] because one day you'll answer for us and

[02:30.49] He'll ask you simple and plain

[02:35.95] Why you never came

[02:43.12] After I'm gone Don't tell the crowd you were proud

[02:47.72] don't post my picture don't say my name

[02:51.16] If you couldn't show up while I felt the pain yeah

[02:56.33] I was here I was alive

[02:59.21] You just thought I had more time

[03:02.65] After I'm gone You'll finally see

[03:05.82] you didn't lose me

[03:08.11] You abandoned me

[03:50.64] my hands bled just for you

[03:54.37] I work until they shook

[03:56.67] I missed my own dreams

[03:58.69] so you could chase the ones you took

[04:01.55] I stood outside in the cold

[04:03.85] so you could sleep in warm light

[04:06.43] I swallowed every fear

[04:08.44] just to keep you all right

[04:11.61] Now i sit alone in a house i built for us

[04:16.21] You pass my name in silence

[04:18.51] like I'm someone you don't trust

[04:21.09] you left me here waithing

[04:24.82] you don't evern try

[04:29.42] yeah i made mistakes I wasn't easy to love

[04:34.88] but i never stopped showing up

[04:37.47] I never gave up after I'm gone

[04:42.92] when the wood hits dirt

[04:44.93] when the sound of goodbye finally

[04:47.81] starts to hurt you'll wish you came

[04:49.82] you wish you stayed

[04:52.40] you replay every call you never made

[05:00.15] you say you love me you swear you cared

[05:04.75] but love shows up and you weren't there

[05:10.49] I was here I was alive

[05:14.81] you just thought I had more time

[05:32.03] When i fell you never found me

[05:36.34] when i needed you you weren't around me

[05:40.94] I watched your live move on

[05:43.15] so fast while I was stuck inside the past

[05:45.16] I kept the porch light on at night

[05:47.46] I told myself you'd make it right

[05:49.48] but hope gets tight and so do I

[05:54.35] you left me behind called it a lie you didn't mean to hurt me

[06:00.96] That's what you'd say

[06:03.83] but not meaning to still hurts this way after I'm gone

[06:10.43] standing by my grave you'll cry for the time you never gave it

[06:17.60] you'll touch that stone you'll say my name

[06:23.06] but it won't answer it won't be the same

[06:28.23] you'll beg for one more chance to call

[06:32.82] but silence won't answer it all

[06:36.56] Jesus forgives I tried it too

[06:42.59] but even he knows love has to move

[06:48.34] one day you'll stand before him alone

[06:52.94] and he'll ask you why you never came home

[07:17.91] After I'm gone when the dirt falls down

[07:22.51] when they lower me slow into the ground

[07:27.66] That's when you'll feel what you deny

[07:32.55] I was still here when you let me slide

[07:37.72] I was your father i needed you

[07:43.17] Not your money just something true

[07:47.76] After I'm gone regret will stay longer than I ever did

[07:55.50] waiting for you that way

[08:06.41] waiting for you that way
