I'll Call Soon - Wiz Keitown

You didn't forget me by accident
You chose not to remember you saw my name
You let it ring and you slept better
You had time you just didn't care
That's the truth don't look away I was there
You tell yourself I'd understand
That's what people say who don't come back
You let me living you let me slow
You took my place and you let it go
You don't call you don't try
You made me wait you made me cry
I was your first voice your first home
Now I talk to walls and dial tones
I watched the years change your face
You watched your life erase my place
Every I'll call soon every lie
You buried me while lies alive
I didn't chase I didn't beg
I just stayed and I aged
You forgot my hands you forgot my eyes
You learn to live while I learn goodbye
You say you're busy I say fine
But don't call this love call it time
Jesus stayed when they all fled
Spikes in his feet still he bled
So don't say leaving was all you knew
He stayed nailed down what about you?
If I die tonight you'll cry out loud
Tell everyone you love me now
You'll say my name like it's a prayer
Funny how God hears what I never did from you
I was breathing I was here
You waited till it didn't come
This isn't rage this isn't blame
This is what's left when you don't say a name
You had years you had time
You had me in my prime
Jesus forgives I tried to
But every day I waited for you
I'm not angry I'm just done
You didn't lose me you chose to run
You never came I stayed up late
Same old chair same cold plate
You said you called you said you cared
I watched the door you weren't there
I kept your room the way you left
Your jacket still smells like you did
You grew alive somewhere new
I stayed the man who waited for you
You forgot my name you forgot my face
Funny how time erased my place
You never came you never tried
You lived your days I watch mine die
You never got like me daily
We're raised on top blue
You made me cry then walked away
I taught you how to ride and pray
How to stand how to stay
I went to church you didn't ask
I prayed along for your path
Jesus knows what leaving costs
He had a cross they all walked off
So when I sit here every night
I talk to him he stayed inside
He never left I never ran
Guess I learned that from him
You never came you never stayed
You chose the world I chose your name
You forgot my voice you forgot my eyes
You made me cry then lived your life
I don't hate you I don't yell
I just live with what you left
If God forgives I try to do
But forgiveness doesn't erase you
You never came now years ago
My hair turned gray but I'm still on
Jesus stayed so here I stand
Door's still open I'm your dad
You never came I still do
Every day I wait for you
