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 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 a winner 'til it crossed 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'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) (Oh, oh) Ooh, would you call me a saint or a sinner? Would you love me a loser or a 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) (Yo, 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, oh (If you could see, you could see me now) (You could see, you could see me now)

If you could see me now you'd know how blue I've been One look is all you need to see the mood I'm in Perhaps when you'd realize I'm still in love with you If you could see me now you'd find me being raised And trying offly hard to make my tears behave But that's quite impossible, I'm still in love with you You happened my way on some memorable day A month will be made for a while I'll try to smile but can I play the part without my heart Behind the smile, the way I feel for you I never could disguise The look of love is written plainly in my eyes I think you'd be mine again if you could see the way you captured me I'm yours eternally, if you could see now

I IF COULD SEE YOU NOW (Alex A. Lopez, BMI - F and R Music, BMI) IF I COULD SEE YOU NOW I only wanted to be next to you I find myself in the darkness And I'm crying You said it would be forever But your gone I must confess that I need you I can't live another day. If I could see you now I'll give myself to you And I'll show you that The love we had was true. If I could see you now I'll hold you in my arms And I'll show you that the Love we had was true. 2nd Verse Baby, come to me Oh these lonely nights Your the one that I see When I close my eyes Your arms has set me free But I'm holding you Its hard to let you go Come back to me and stay. You said it would be forever Uh uh uh, ja ha ha Uh uh uh, Ja ha ha. No matter what I do I just can't stop loving you These tears in my eyes They all because of you.

Long ago Just like the hearse you die to get in again We are so far from you Burning on Just like the match you strike to incinerate The lives of everyone you know And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like a blade you'll stain Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Came a time When every star fall Brought you to tears again We are the very hurt you sold And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like a blade you stain Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Well if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Can you hear me Are you near me Can we pretend to leave and then We'll meet again When both our cars collide What's the worst I can say Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight

In the car, I just can't wait To pick you up on our very first date Is it cool if I hold your hand? Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance? Do you like my stupid hair? Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear? I'm too scared of what you think You make me nervous, so I really can't eat Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over Honest, let's make this night last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever When you smile, I melt inside I'm not worthy of a minute of your time I really wish it was only me and you I'm jealous of everybody in the room Please don't look at me with those eyes! Please don't hint that you're capable of lies I dread the thought of our very first kiss A target that I'm probably gonna miss Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over Honest, let's make this night last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over Honest, let's make this night last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever

Could've swore you were the one With the way that you made me feel weightless And Lord knows that I came undone You took the pain in my heart and defaced it Then you caught me off guard Left me standin' there broken Thought I knew who you were God, I don't understand it Straight out of a movie scene I thought that was you and me I thought that was us Said that you could be mine, play your cards right Under blankets of stars, drunken sleepless nights I hate that I saw forever in your eyes You stole my heart and you ran like a true crime Now I lay here awake wonderin' where'd you go? And did you ever feel the same, guess I'll never know I hate that I saw forever in your lies You stole my heart and you ran like a true crime Then you caught me off guard Left me standin' there broken Now I can't even go to the southside 'Cause I fear that I'll run into you And it's safe to say I'm losin' my damn mind Nothin' feels like it used to When did it get so hard Oh, to let go and move on? I don't know where to start How did I get it so wrong? Still stuck in a movie scene Where it's only you and me Yeah, it's only us Said that you could be mine, play your cards right Under blankets of stars, drunken sleepless nights I hate that I saw forever in your eyes You stole my heart and you ran like a true crime Now I lay here awake wonderin' where'd you go? And did you ever feel the same, guess I'll never know I hate that I saw forever in your lies You stole my heart and you ran like a true crime Left me standin' there broken Said that you could be mine, play your cards right Under blankets of stars, drunken sleepless nights I hate that I saw forever in your eyes You stole my heart and you ran (like a true crime) Now I lay here awake wonderin' where'd you go? (Oh) And did you ever feel the same, guess I'll never know (I'll never know) I hate that I saw forever in your lies (oh) You stole my heart and you ran like a true crime Then you caught me off guard Left me standin' there broken (oh) Thought I knew who you were You stole my heart and you ran like a true crime
