Nobody Cares Until You’re Gone

I gave my all, but they just stared
Smiled at me, but never cared
Now they cry like I was gold
Too late now, the truth unfolds

Why do the flowers come too late?
Why do they only love your grave?
When I screamed, they turned away
Now they miss the things I’d say

Nobody cares until you're gone
Then they act like you belonged
Write your name in every post
Like they were the ones you loved the most

Now I see fake tears in crowds
Pretending they were always proud
But when I begged for just one hand
They disappeared like grains of sand

Why does pain need death to prove
That someone once meant the world to you?
Would they even shed a tear
If I was still breathing here?

Nobody cares until you're gone
Then they act like you belonged
Write your name in every post
Like they were the ones you loved the most
