If She Could See Me Now
Jason Aldean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I wrecked it
My foolish words so cool and cold
Were disconnected
Tell me why
When she cried
All I did was close my eyes
If she could see me now
If she could see me breaking down
Maybe she'd turn around
If she could see me now
Now the sunshine feels like rain
Trying to drown me
And the world feels out of place
All around me
So I wait
And I pray
That I run into her someday
If she could see me now
If she could see me breaking down
Maybe she'd turn around
If she could see me now
So many things I wish I could tell her
Show her
Just how bad I really need her
Miss her
Love her
If she could see me now
If she could see me breaking down
Maybe she'd turn around
If she could see me now
If she could see me breaking down
Maybe she'd turn around
If she could see me now
If she could see me now

Wasn't a stone I didn't throw
I did everything I could to ruin our relationship
When I wrecked it
My actions led to the end of our relationship
My foolish words so cool and cold
I said hurtful things without thinking or caring about how they would affect her
Were disconnected
My words and actions were not in line with how I truly felt
Tell me why
I can't understand
When she cried
When she was hurting
All I did was close my eyes
I ignored her pain
If she could see me now
If she could see how much I've changed
If she could see me breaking down
If she could see how much I'm hurting without her
Maybe she'd turn around
Maybe she'd give me another chance
Now the sunshine feels like rain
My life is no longer happy without her
Trying to drown me
I feel overwhelmed by my emotions
And the world feels out of place
Nothing feels right without her
All around me
I can't escape these feelings
So I wait
I hope for the best
And I pray
I ask for a miracle
That I run into her someday
That we will cross paths again
So many things I wish I could tell her
I have a lot to say
Show her
I want to demonstrate my love
Just how bad I really need her
How much I truly rely on her
Miss her
I long for her presence
Love her
I still have feelings for her
