Do You Even Know Me Anymore? - Mark Schultz

It’s cold tonight,

I heard her say.

She was staring out the window

As I came home late.

She tried to smile

but looked away

Oh I could see the tears were running

Down her face

She said…

You go to work,

You pay the bills.

I stay at home,

And I make the meals

But you don’t even know who I am anymore.

You’re a million miles away

Though I see you every day

And I’ve been waiting right here,

Oh for all these years

And sometimes I get so lonely,

I need to know you love me

But do you even know me anymore?

I turned around.

To see my son.

Oh, I remember his first birthday,

Now he’s twenty-one.

I missed his life.

I missed it all,

Oh, to him I was a man

Just living down the hall.

He said… I learned to live,

Without you Dad

But i’d give it all

Just to have you back.

But you don’t even know who I am anymore.

I used to wait at all my games

But still you never came

And I’ve been waiting right here,

Oh for all these years

From the time you said you’d owe me,

I’ve wanted you to show me

But you don’t even know me anymore?

I’ve watched my days,

Turn into years

And now I’m wondering how I wound up here.

I dreamed my dreams

I made my plans

But all I’ve built here is an empty man.

And I don’t even know who I am anymore.

Oh, God I’m praying through the tears,

Let me make up for these years

Oh, have I waited too long?

Can I start again,

To be the man you’ve wanted of me

I’m begging you to show me

But do you even know me anymore?
