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 rain 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 have.
If I were you…

Look what surrounds you now more than you’ve ever dreamed.
Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be?
So what’s it going to take for you to realize
it 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 thank the stars above, tell the ones I love
that I do…

Yeah IF I WERE YOU,
Whoa, yeah IF I WERE YOU
IF I WERE YOU, whoaaaa
IF I WERE YOU

So what’s it going to take for you to realize
it 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 thank 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

I’m not a perfect person
There’s many things I wish I didn’t do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I’m sorry that I hurt you
It’s something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That’s why I need you to hear

I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you [x4]

I’m not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I’ve found a reason to show
A side of me you didn’t know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
