Will.i.am - 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 there are days when I'm losing my faith
Because the man wasn't good he was great

He'd say music is 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)

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 it until it crossed me
I could wan't no real love until I've loved and I've lost it So if you've lost a sister, someone lost a mom
And if you lost a dad, then someone lost a son
And they're all missing now, yeah they're all missing now
So if you get a second to look 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 no 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)
