Lyrics
If You Were Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Time passes, I accept the blame
And I accept that you might never care to see me again
At least we can shake off some shame
Still I quiver like a dying leaf in a violent wind
I don't wish to be excused for this
My disguise and my excuses, they have worn so thin
May I ask, and answer honestly
Oh, what would you have done if you were me?
How could it go so wrong so quickly?
Oh, what would you do if you were me?
Don't assume that I have found this easy
Oh, how would you feel if you were me?
Time passes, kills everything
In its path, and then it buries us in history
Some bits, some bits seem to stick
Oh, I thought that you and I could be a timeless thing
And I have to ask, please answer honestly
What would you have done if you were me?
How could it go so wrong so quickly?
Oh, what would you do if you were me?
Don't assume that I have found this easy
How would you feel if you were me?
