If You Saw Me Now

City lights flicker on cracked concrete

Shadows chasing dreams that taste bittersweet

Your ghost still lingers on these empty streets

But tonight I reclaim what you stole from me

Every tear you watched me drown

Built the throne I’m standing on now

If you saw me now, you’d beg at my feet

But I’m a wildfire you can’t defeat

I’m better alone, unstoppable somehow

Don’t need your chains, I’m breaking out

If you saw me, if you saw me now

Your memory’s a scar, but I love the pain

Healed in the madness, dancing in the rain

I traded your poison for my own parade

Found my freedom in the games you played

Every tear you watched me drown

Built the throne I’m standing on now

If you saw me now, you’d beg at my feet

But I’m a wildfire you can’t defeat

I’m better alone, unstoppable somehow

Don’t need your chains, I’m breaking out

If you saw me, if you saw me now

From ashes I rose, unbreakable skin

Your regrets echo loud but I won’t let you in

The silence I carry is my sharpest sound

You had your chance, but I won’t turn around

If you saw me now, you’d beg at my feet

But I’m a wildfire you can’t defeat

I’m better alone, unstoppable somehow

Don’t need your chains, I’m breaking out

If you saw me, if you saw me nowSo wave goodbye as I fade in the night

I was lost, but now I own the fight
