if you could see me now

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

It was February 14th, Valentine's Day
The roses came but they took you away
Tattooed on my arm is the charm to disarm all the harm
Gotta keep myself calm, but the truth is you're gone
And I 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, on and on
And everyday is when I'm loosing 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 trying to 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

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 where taken away
I know it's been a while, but I can see you clear as day
Right now I wish I could hear you say
I drink too much and I smoke too much dust
But if you can't see me now, that shit's a must
You used to say I won't know, I will until it cost me
Like I want no real love until I've loved and I've lost it

So if you've lost a sister, someone's lost a mom
And if you lost a dad, then someone's lost his son
And they're all missing now, yeah 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
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

Would you call me a saint or sinner
Would you love me, a loser or a winner
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

You could see, you could see me now
You could see, you could see me now
