If You Could See Me Now

Oh, if you could see me now
Oh, if you could see me now

It was February 14, 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 explain, 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)

Yeah
(Oh, if you could see me now) yeah

If you could see me now, would you recognize me?
Would you pat me on the back or would you criticize me?
Would you follow every line on my tear-stained face?
Put your hand on a heart that was cold as the day you were taken away

I know it's been a while, but I could you see 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 a win until it cost me
Like I won't know real love 'til I've loved then I've lost it
So 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 just missing you now

I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh, if you could see me now (oh, if you could see me now)
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) oh, oh

Oh (yeah)
Oh

Oh, would you call me a saint or a sinner?
Would you love me, a loser or winner? (Oh, 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 (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)

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), oh, oh, oh, oh

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