Too Late to Care

I was right there breathing same as you

Same damn number you always knew

Phone stayed quiet unless you needed something

Quick to take but slow to give nothing

Never once asked how I was getting by

Just passed me up like I was passing time

Saw me around but you kept your space

Half ass smile on a borrowed face

You had the time when it worked for you

Never a second just to check in true

I kept it moving did what I could

You took your piece and called it good

Now you show up dressed in black

Talking love like you had my back

Crying hard like you gave a damn

Saying my name like you knew who I am

You drove all night just to stand here instead

But you never came by when I wasn’t dead

Now you are telling stories like we were close

Like you were there when it mattered most

Funny how time makes memory lie

You found your voice after goodbye

All those words you saved for this day

Could have meant something back my way

Now you show up dressed in black

Talking love like you had my back

Crying hard like you gave a damn

Saying my name like you knew who I am

You drove all night just to stand here instead

But you never came by when I wasn’t dead

You watched me fade in plain sight

Walked right past me day and night

Had every chance just to step in

But you stayed gone and called it living

Now you stand here acting surprised

Like you were not gone my whole fucking life

Now you show up dressed in black

Talking love like you had my back

Crying hard like you gave a damn

Saying my name like you knew who I am

You drove all night just to stand here instead

But you never came by when I wasn’t dead

So keep your flowers and keep your speech

All that love is out of reach

If you got something you need to say

Say it now do not wait that way
