If You Could See Me Now (written by Charmer, under his real name) copyright January, 1982
If you could hear me now,
you could hear me crying
If you could see inside me now,
you would see I'm dying
A long time ago,
you left me all alone
and a long time ago,
every song I wrote was just for you
Isn't it strange...
some things never change
I'm still alone and feeling down
and all people think,
is that I'm just a clown
It's so hard to let myself go,
so hard to let people know
what I really feel inside...
I just hide
If I could just believe in my dreams
and let myself live
people might realize, that deep inside,
I've got so much to give
Look at me now,
just look at what I've become
I've let everything go,
and now I'm on the run
looking for something
waiting for something to break through....
I wish it were you
But if you could see me now
all you would see is someone you never knew
If you could believe me now
all I've ever said to you was true
Maybe, deep down inside,
I would want you back,
but I'll never let it show,
you just might never know
how much, how hard...I tried
to put you behind,
to put all my feelings for you way back in my mind
I can be strong,
stronger than you've ever known me to be
I can be alone,
without you to help me see,
but if you could see me now
you would see someone...
someone, alone and dying...
someone who...
someone who, only to himself,
is lying
If you could hear me now,
you could hear me crying
If you could see inside me now,
you would see I'm dying
A long time ago,
you left me all alone
and a long time ago,
every song I wrote was just for you
Isn't it strange...
some things never change
I'm still alone and feeling down
and all people think,
is that I'm just a clown

so hard to let people know
