Description

A broken heart sometimes writes the best scripts for reincarnation. In a letter written as if with a hangover and a hint of defiance, resentment turns into plans for a new car, distant roads, and a stranger's gaze that will one day fail to recognize a familiar face. Here, pain is masked by a smile, and farewell by a second birth. And in this “when you see me,” what you hear is not a promise, but a challenge: will you now recognize that very person?

Lyrics and translation

Original

If my broke heart could write a letter
I’d find a pen and paper
And pour it out, How I’m hurtin' now
Then I’d scribble I won't miss you
I’d paint a pretty picture
'Bout movin' on, Yeah movin' on
I could send it to you now but it wouldn't mean a thing
Till I drink my weight in whiskey and I’m the man there on that page
When you see me
Girl you won't recognize me
You'll probably walk right by me
Like some stranger on the street
And I’ll be smilin'
Like I was before goodbye and
Girl I swear you won't believe it
When you see me
Well I just bought me a new truck
I couldn't drive that ol' pickup
With your memory, Ridin' next to me
And I’m takin' me a long trip
Some place I ain't been yet
But I’ll be back sometime
Oh and I’ll be fine
When you see me
Girl you won't recognize me
You'll probably walk right by me
Like some stranger on the street
I’ll be smilin'
Like I was before goodbye and
Girl I swear you won't believe it
When you see me
When you see me
Girl you won't recognize me
You'll probably walk right by me
Like some stranger on the street
I'll be smilin'
Like I was before goodbye and
Girl I swear you won't believe it
When you see me
Oh when you see me
