[INTRO] Yeah… I still catch myself wanting to call you. Then I remember. You’re not picking up anymore. [VERSE 1] I still got your number saved in my phone, Even though I know nobody’s answering home, Sometimes I scroll through the pictures we took, Trying to remember every detail of your look. Everybody tells me time makes it okay, But time just teaches you to hide the pain, I can smile, I can laugh, I can go through my day, Then something small brings it all back again. [PRE-CHORUS] I wish you could see me now, Wish you could see how far I’ve come, I’d tell you everything I never said Before the day you were gone. [CHORUS] If you could see me now, Would you be proud of me? Would you recognize the person That you always said I’d be? I still talk to you sometimes When nobody’s around, I know you can’t answer, But somehow I still talk out loud. And I don’t know where you are, But wherever you may be, I hope somehow you know You’re still a part of me. [VERSE 2] I remember all the little things you did, The stupid jokes, the way you used to grin, I didn’t know those moments were the ones I’d spend my whole life trying to live again. I wish I took more pictures, Wish I stayed a little longer, Wish I knew the last goodbye Was gonna hit this much harder. Now every birthday feels a little strange, Every holiday got an empty place, Everybody keeps moving like the world didn’t change, But mine did the second I watched you fade away. [PRE-CHORUS] I wish you could see me now, Wish you could see what I’ve become, I’d tell you I still carry you Everywhere I’m going. [CHORUS] If you could see me now, Would you be proud of me? Would you recognize the person That you always said I’d be? I still talk to you sometimes When nobody’s around, I know you can’t answer, But somehow I still talk out loud. And I don’t know where you are, But wherever you may be, I hope somehow you know You’re still a part of me. [BRIDGE] I won’t say goodbye, ‘Cause goodbye feels too final, I’ll carry every memory Like a light I keep beside me. And when I finally make it To wherever the road goes, I hope you’re somewhere smiling, Saying, “I always knew you’d grow.” [FINAL CHORUS] If you could see me now, I hope you’d be proud of me, I’m still becoming everything You always believed I’d be. I still talk to you sometimes, Still miss you when it gets quiet, But I won’t let the memory die, I’ll keep your name alive. And if there’s a place beyond this life, I hope somehow you hear me say— I love you. I miss you. And I’ll carry you Every day. [OUTRO] If you could see me now… You’d know I never forgot.
