If You Could See Me Now

If you could see me now, you'd be proud of me
I understand why you wouldn't wanna be
In my life, you were kind, I was cruel when you cared
Swear I'll change, yeah, I learned from the best (best)

If you could see me now, you'd be proud of me
I understand why you wouldn't wanna be
In my life, you were kind, I was cruel when you cared

I think if you leave me alone, that would be best
You've been the sole cause of all my stress for some years
Wonder why I left you, why do you think it is?
You need to learn to-, you need to give me space, yeah

The intense pressure of your presence, I can feel it
Ever since I met you, you pushed me to my limit
I would like your face out of my face for a minute
You don't respect my-, just get back in your place, yeah

You think you're being sweet by singing songs in my ear
You're proud of yourself, that's basically all I hear
You swear you've changed, I swear you said that last year
Only thing that's changed is now I know you're not sincere

I let you have your say in every single decision
Couldn't see my friends without your strict supervision
Anything I say could be used as ammunition
You keep me in my place, lacking my pride and ambition ('bition, 'bition)
