[Intro]
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've changed, yeah I learned from the 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
Swear I've changed, yeah I learned from the best

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
If you could see me now
You don't mean it
I understand why you
I don't need this
In my life, you were kind, I was cruel
You don't mean it
Swear I've changed, yeah I learned from the best
You need to give me space, yeah
If you could see me now
You don't mean it
I understand why you
I don't need this
In my life, you were kind, I was cruel
You don't mean it
Swear I've changed, yeah I learned from the best
Just get back in your place, yeah
[Verse 2]
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
And anything I say can be used as ammunition
To keep me in my place lacking my pride and ambition

[Chorus]
If you could see me now
You don't mean it
I understand why you
I don't need this
In my life, you were kind, I was cruel
You don't mean it
Swear I've changed, yeah I learned from the best
You need to give me space, yeah
If you could see me now
You don't mean it
I understand why you
I don't need this
In my life, you were kind, I was cruel
You don't mean it
Swear I've changed, yeah I learned from the best
Just get back in your place, yeah
[Outro]
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've changed, yeah I learned from the 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
Swear I've changed, yeah I learned from the best
