The Night They Saw Me Cry - Mikhail Bennett
The night I lost your mother
Something broke inside of me
Charlie stood there in the doorway
Rose was only three
I tried to hide the tears from them
Tried to be strong somehow
But children see the pain we hide
Even when we don't know how
Charlie watched his father falling
Rose just held my hand
The night they saw me cry
Was the night our world changed
Nothing looked the same again
Nothing felt the same
Charlie stopped believing my words
Rose stopped asking why
And all I could give them back then
Were tears I couldn't hide
I started drowning in the whiskey
Trying to outrun the pain
Every bottle promised healing
But left me more ashamed
Charlie slowly pulled away
The house grew cold and still
And every empty chair reminded me
Of everything I killed
I lost my wife
Then I started losing my son
The night they saw me cry
They watched their father fall
I was supposed to be their shelter
But I couldn't stand at all
Charlie left without a goodbye
Rose hardly spoke my name
And every night I blamed myself
For everything I changed
Then one night
When no one left
No wife
No son
No peace
I fell down on my knees and whispered
Jesus
If you're still there
Please don't give up on me
The night they saw me cry
Was the end of me
Because Jesus found this broken man
And gave him eyes to see
I still pray for Charlie
I still pray for Rose
And I trust the God who found me
Will bring my children home
I lost my way
But Jesus found me
And it's where I'm still standing
