Schultz, Mark - Do You Even Know Me Anymore Lyrics






"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 but 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,
Over 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.
Well I remember his first birthday. Now he's 21.
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,
Over all these years.
For the time you said you'd owe me,
I wanted you to show me,
But do you 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.
God I'm praying through the tears,
Let me make up all 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?

  1. S.... R....

    It sounds like he may have learned an important lesson. The question is: was it too late?

  2. D.... I....

    This song reminds us perfectly that their things in this life that mean so much more than dreams, aspirations and places we want to be. I can only weep when I listen.

  3. K.... S....

    She doesn't even talk to them anymore either

  4. 9.... ....

    Wahouu❤❤❤

  5. M.... M....

    are you to busy making a living to make a life?
    everyone will suffer 😔

  6. G.... G....

    i need the instrumentals of these song.. anyone? :)

  7. B.... H....

    haunting...

  8. b.... ....

    a very sad song but yet so beautiful

  9. b.... ....

    I can relate to this song in two ways as this song originally talks about a dad missing out on his family's life well I am the youngest of 5 3 Brothers and 1 sister our parents married very young although they were not quite ready to commit and settle down they fight a lot and the love between them just wasn't there they both had their social lives and it seemed like that was first priority to them. we were raised by our grandparents they had to play the role of Mom and Dad in 1993 my grandfather passes away due to heart condition later in 2010 my grandmother was diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's it was difficult to watch her mind fade away as the condition progressed she was slowly forgetting and slowly not recognizing us eventually didn't know who you are anymore she finally goes on to be with the Lord and passes away in July of 2012 although we never really knew what it was like to have a father-son relationship and yet it was very difficult to see our grandmother fade away like that since she was the wind beneath our wings and did everything for us put us through school and attended to our needs. when I heard this song for the first time I broke into tears till this day I still cry with this song because it takes me back to the moment of watching my grandmother fade away like that, and not really knowing what it's like to have my actual dad in my life. Mark Schultz is a very talented singer-songwriter a true gift from God he always has the right song for the right aspect of life I can connect to this song and many more of his other songs God bless you mark and thank you for your wonderful music.

    Is there any chance of reconecting with your mom and or day? If there is a chance...you should forgive and try.

    b.... ....

    +Stephen Taylor oh yes I myself and my siblings we do see our mother and talk to her it's just the fact that she was not too involved in our lives like raising us little long our father either who was not very good but we do talk and I do forgive my mother. I just can't give credit where credit is not due but I love my mom very much it wouldn't make me much of a Christian if I did not learn to forgive.

    b.... ....

    That is great that you reconnected with your mom....cherish this time with her.

  10. A.... D....

    V.... S....

    I do not know if it would help, but listen to Mark Schultz"s Everything To Me.

    V.... S....

    You may not be able to see it, but maybe you gave your son another gift.

    V.... S....

    @Melanie Andrews That is an amazing song. I was adopted so the song means a lot to me

    V.... S....

    I lost a beautiful baby girl after three weeks to a failed adoption and every day the pain consumes me. Every day more of me dies. I miss her so much and can't imagine having to do this life without her and can't believe anyone would think id ever be ok doing so

  15. k.... k....

    I heard this song for the first time today and I do not think that I have ever been so moved by a song.  This is the story of my life.  And now as my older son heads off to college and my 22 year marriage ends, I see the price I paid as I let my wife and two boys slip away while I focused on providing them with things.  My wife needed to know that i loved her.  I could say it but could not show it.

    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.

    Can I start again?
    To be the man you've wanted of me...

    It is too late for my wife and me.
    But there is still hope for me and my boys.

    When I was three years old, my parents got divorced. Growing up, I could never understand why he was never around. When I was fourteen, we found out that my dad had been struggling with a heroine addiction all along. After a few more rocky years, my dad finally kicked his drug habit. Right now, my dad is the most important person in my life again. For the past few years, he's been by my side through some of my most difficult struggles. And he really is my best friend. For all of you dads out there who feel like you can't be a part of your child's life because of how bad you screwed up, just give it a shot. I'm not saying that it'll be all roses all the time. But my dad stepped up and learned to be a father. And I couldn't be more proud of him or love him any more then I do right now. You never know.. Maybe your child was just sitting back waiting for you to take the first step. You won't ever know until you give them a call. Most of all, don't forget to tell them that you love them and that you're sorry for hurting them. It'll go a long ways.

  17. E.... A....

    im making it a point to always be there for my children.

  18. I.... ....

    This song pinpoints American society perfectly. The father is expected to pay the bills and go to work endlessly so the family can have a better life, but on the other hand he is supposed to be there for all his families events and on goings. There is a fine line the father has to walk to be both.

  19. D.... J....

    My dad was an alcoholic.. mum told me he'd die.. I asked him to stop one day and his reply was: Son.. If I do It will simply take me longer to die.. and with more pain.
    .-. Hows that for growing up without a father? that's all I remember about him..

  20. A.... P....

    ♥ I LOVE THIS IS SONG, I LOVE MARK SCHULTZ ♥

  21. x.... ....

    I am sorry that you had to go through that experience. I hope that you had a good upbringing in the end, and if there is any reassurance in this, I promise that I will always be there for my kid when he/she grows up.

  22. A.... S....

    Not only the lack of a father, but the lack of a parent in general. Parents, please stay together for sake of your children. Both parents are crucial to raising children. Even if it gets rocky, know that you can make it through it for your kids. It messes kids up even more than people can imagine.

  23. G.... M....

    Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  24. P.... P....

    Mark Schultz is an extraordinary singer! I love all his song. Very heart tugging and thoughtful of the Lord and the one that matters. And for WHAT matters in this life. Thank you Mark Schultz! God bless

  25. I.... W....

    Love this song. Just the title made me think about my life. Ever since I was little I'v been compared to my big sister and know when one has ever gotten to me for me because they assume I'm just the same as my big sister. I have changed so much and I am the opposite from her. They don't know who I am even thought they think they know me but they have no clue what I'm like what I like and more importantlay who I even am.

  26. M.... S....

    Beautiful.
