If You Could See Me Now

The Script

Oh if you could see me now 
(Oh if you could see me now) 

It was February fourteen, Valentine's Day 
The roses came, but they took you away 
Tattooed on my arm is a charm to disarm all the harm 
Gotta keep myself calm but the truth is you're gone 
And I'll never get to show you these songs 
Dad, you should see the tours that I'm on, 
I see you standing there next to Mom 
Both singing along, yeah arm in arm 
And there are days when I'm losing my faith 
Because the man wasn't good he was great 
He'd say music was the home for your pain 
And explained I was young, he would say 
"Take that rage, put it on a page 
Take the page to the stage 
Blow the roof off the place" 
I'm tryna make you proud 
Do everything you did 
I hope you're up there with God 
Saying "that's my kid" 

I still look for your face in the crowd 
Oh if you could see me now 
(Oh if you could see me now) 
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow 
Oh if you could see me now 
(Oh if you could see me now) 

If you could see me now would you recognise me? 
Would you pat me on the back or would you criticise me?
Would you follow every line on my tear stained face 
Put your hand on a heart that's was cold 
As the day you were taken away 
I know it's been awhile but I could see you clear as day 
Right now, I wish I could hear you say 
I drink too much and I smoke too much dutch 
But if you can't see me now that shit's a must 
You used to say I won't know wind until it crossed me 
Like I won't know real love till I've loved then I've lost it 
And if you've lost a sister, someone's lost a mom 
And if you've lost a dad, then someone's lost a son 
And they're all missing now, and they're all missing now 
So if you get a second to look down at me now 
Mom, Dad, I'm just missing you now 

I still look for your face in the crowd 
Oh if you could see me now 
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow? 
Oh if you could see me now 

Oh... Oh... 
Would you call me a saint or a sinner? 
Would you love me a loser or winner? 
Oh... Oh... 
When I see my face in the mirror 
We look so alike that it makes me shiver 

I still look for your face in the crowd 
Oh if you could see me now 
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow? 
Oh if you could see me now 

I still look for your face in the crowd 
Oh if you could see me now 
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow? 
Oh if you could see me now 

Oh... 
You could see, you could see me now 
(You could see, you could see me now)
