Flute‑Riot Symphony

Lyrics

LOOK AT ME NOW Verse 1 Back when I was walkin’, shoes worn thin Dreams in my pocket, but I couldn’t cash them in I loved a girl with everything I had But I didn’t have a ride, and she thought that was bad Friday nights she’d wanna hit the town I’d scrape together gas money just to drive around Then one day she left without a sound Jumped into my friend’s car and never looked back around Pre-Chorus I ain’t mad, I ain’t bitter, I ain’t holdin’ no grudge Life’s got a funny way of balancing the books Chorus Look at me now, girl, look at me now Used to be stuck, now I’m way above the clouds You chose the fast lane when I was on foot Now I’m living dreams they said I never could Look at me now, girl, ain’t that wild? Funny how the tables turn after a while I wish you the best, but karma don’t miss Sometimes life teaches lessons better than this Verse 2 I remember all the times they laughed at me Said I’d never be nothing, said I’d never be free Now I’m catching flights to places you’ve never seen Living out the vision that once was just a dream I got no hate in my heart, no revenge in my soul Every setback built the man that’s in control And if you ask me if I’d change a single thing I’d say no, ’cause pain taught me how to win Pre-Chorus I ain’t mad, I ain’t bitter, I ain’t holdin’ no grudge Life’s got a funny way of balancing the books Chorus Look at me now, girl, look at me now Used to be stuck, now I’m way above the clouds You chose the fast lane when I was on foot Now I’m living dreams they said I never could Look at me now, girl, ain’t that wild? Funny how the tables turn after a while I wish you the best, but karma don’t miss Sometimes life teaches lessons better than this Bridge Last time you saw me, I was cruisin’ through the city Black Lamborghini, paint shining so pretty You looked surprised, I just smiled and drove by No need for words when success tells the story right The boy you left behind ain’t the man you see today I kept on moving forward while you faded away Final Chorus Look at me now, girl, look at me now Started with nothing, now the whole world’s looking down Not because I’m rich, not because I got fame But because I stayed true when everybody changed Look at me now, girl, this is how it goes Some plant seeds while others chase the roses I got nothing against you, that’s the truth I preach But karma’s a teacher, and life gives the speech Outro So here’s a toast to every broken heart Every goodbye that gave a brand-new start You left because I didn’t have a car back then Now I’m riding through life, and I’d do it all again.
