[Verse 1] You taught me how to fight fair On that worn-out kitchen floor-bare The house was quiet, the light was low Like it knew I’d need you more You laughed when I got both sides wrong Then you showed me once more I was clumsy, I was crying But your patience kept the score
[Pre-Chorus] Now your name lives in my hands In the way I hold my ground Every little step I take I can still hear you around And when my knees start shaking When the night gets cold and thin I reach for what you gave me Like I’m trying not to break again
[Chorus] If You Could See Me Now I feel you linger still I hold it in the silence I hold it in the storm If you could hear me now You’d know I made it through Even when the world played rough I still walk on for you If You Could See Me Now If You Could See Me Now
[Verse 2] You showed me how to stay kind Even when kindness got me hurt How to laugh without apologizing How to speak my worth You held my face and told me “Don’t let fear run your day” So I learned to keep on moving Even when you went away
[Pre-Chorus] Now your name lives in my hands In the way I hold my ground Every little step I take I can still hear you around And when my knees start shaking When the dark comes rolling in I reach for what you gave me Like I’m trying not to fall again
[Chorus] If You Could See Me Now I feel you linger still I hold it in the silence I hold it in the storm If you could hear me now You’d know I made it through Even when the world played rough I still walk on for you If You Could See Me Now If You Could See Me Now
[Bridge] You said, “Never fight dirty” Even if the world felt far too rough I was small, but I remember Those lessons were enough You said, “Believe in your heart” Even if the world turns its back on you I was scared, but I remembered Those lessons kept me warm Most nights I still go searching For your remnants in the hall Like a part of me is waiting For your footsteps to call
[Final Chorus] If You Could See Me Now Forever you linger here I carry what you taught me Through the quiet, and in chaos If you could see me now You’d know I made it through Even when the world was rough I still walk on for you If You Could See Me Now If You Could See Me Now
[Outro] I hope you know I miss you Still reaching for your light If You Could See Me Now If You Could See Me Now
