(Oh if you could see me now)

(Oh if you could see me now)

It was february 14 valentines 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 that 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!"

[Chorus]

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)

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 my heart that was cold

As the day you were 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 dutch

But if you can't see me now that shit's a must

You used to say I wont know a wind until it crossed me

Like I wont know real love 'til I've loved and I've lost it

So if you lost a sister, someone's lost a mom

And if you lost a dad then someone's lost a son

And they're all missing out, yeah they're all missing out

So if you get a second to look down on 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)

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

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 (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 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)

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, you could see me now [x2]
