💔 HEARTBREAKING: Michael Bennett's Soul-Stirring "After I'm Gone" Performance!

you don't call me anymore you just say you're busy see you laughing with the world but you don't make time for me you walk 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 after I'm gone you'll feel this pain every ignored text every misname when the wood hits dirt and the crowd goes home you finally understand what it means to be alone you'll say you love me you'll cry on cue but love shows up why didn't you I was here I was breathing you just stopped believing I was sick you didn't know I was weak you didn't show asked if I was okay you never miss me enough to stay I waited for you you never came now I'm just a fading name I told myself you come around but hope gets quiet without a sound after I'm gone you wish you tried your replay nights you let me cry you'll stand there shaking hands in regret wishing you could undo what you chose to forget you'll 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 don't tell the crowd you were proud don't post my picture don't say my name if you couldn't show up while I felt the pain you just thought I had more time after I'm gone you finally see you didn't lose me my hands bled just for you I worked until 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 all right 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 I never gave up when the wood hits dirt when the sound of goodbye finally starts to hurt you wish you came you wish you stayed you replay every call you never made you say you love me you used to show up and you weren't there you just thought I had more time when I fell down you never found me when I needed you you weren't around me I watched your life move on so fast while I was stuck inside the past I kept the porch light on at night I told myself you'd make it right but hope gets tired so do I you left me behind and called it a lie you didn't mean to hurt me that's what you'd say but not meaning to it still hurts this way after I'm gone standing by my grave you'll cry for the time you never gave you'll touch that stone you'll say my name but it won't answer it won't be the same you'll beg for one more chance to call but silence won't answer at all Jesus forgives attitude even he knows love has to move one day you'll stand before him alone and he'll ask you why you never came home lower me slow into the ground that's when you'll feel what you denied I was still here when you needed you not just something true after I'm gone regret will stay for you that way
