Lyrics
If I Were You
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.
You seem to find the dark
When everything is bright
You look for all that's wrong
Instead of all that's right
Does it feel good to you?
To reign on my parade
You never say a word
Unless it's to complain
It's driving me insane
If I Were You
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars for all that I am
If I Were You
Look what's around you now
More than you ever dreamed
Have you forgotten just
How hard it use to be?
So what's it going to take for you to realise?
That all could go away, in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time
If I Were You
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thanks the stars above
Tell the words I love that I do
Yeah If I Were You
Whoa, yeah If I Were You
If I Were You, whoaaaa
Yeah If I Were You
So what's it going to take for you to realise?
If all could go away, in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time!
If I Were You
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thanks the stars above
For the ones I love
Take a breath and enjoy the view
Live the life that I wanted to
If I Were You
If I Were You
If I Were You!
