Now You Care?

Yeah…

You only show up when it’s safe now, huh?

Where were you when it mattered?

I used to wait by the door,

Thinkin’ maybe this time you’d show.

Phone in my hand, same story again,

Guess I should’ve learned to let go.

You said “I’ll be there,” but you never came,

Now you say you care—boy, it’s just shame.

When I was low, you came around,

Actin’ like you ever held me down.

Don’t say you love me, you don’t even know me,

I built these walls ‘cause you couldn’t show me.

You talk like I’m cruel for cuttin’ you loose,

But pain taught me things that love never could do.

Now you care, but it’s too late,

You only talk when you got somethin’ to say.

You act lost, like you don’t understand,

But I bled for a man who never gave a damn.

Now you care, yeah, now you care—

Where was that love when I needed air?

You talk so loud, but you were never there,

You were never there.

You tell your friends I went cold,

Sayin’ “I don’t know why she won’t come home.”

But you built that distance, brick by brick,

Now you play dumb like you’re innocent.

You never showed up for the hard nights,

Now you wanna claim you were in my life?

You missed the pain, you missed the fight,

But you showed up just to rewrite the lie.

Yeah, I cried for you, prayed for you,

Tried to forgive, but the truth came through.

You were gone when I needed a dad,

Now you’re mad ‘cause I stopped lookin’ back.

Now you care, but it’s too late,

You only talk when you got somethin’ to say.

You act lost, like you don’t understand,

But I bled for a man who never gave a damn.

Now you care, yeah, now you care—

Where was that love when I needed air?

You talk so loud, but you were never there,

You were never there.

Yeah, you don’t get to cry for me now,

You made your silence too loud.

I’m done reachin’ for ghosts in the air

You never cared.
