How Do You Like Me Now Lyrics by Helena Deland
Tonight at your party
Nobody sees me
Stay back, linger
Tip of a finger
To spine of your notebook
I’d die for just one look
Promise I would never read
What if you caught me?
Wait – what if secretly
You had been hoping
Someone would open it?
Marvel to witness
Grace and acuteness
In notes you took every day
Backlit, catching me reading, you’d say
How do you like me now?
How do you like me now?
Went for a run
Didn’t see anyone
10th of December
I’m getting better
At being alone and at hearing the tone
Of exactly what it is I need
So how do you like me now?
So how do you like me now?
That’s right
I wrote it all out
It’s all there
The great inspirations
The nightmares
The good and the bad days
The clever, the bold observations
And one day, if anyone reads
They will fall in love
At last, somebody
Who has really seen me
