"If I Were You" lyrics

If it were me I wouldn't be the one to leave your side
If it were me you wouldn't be crying all damn night

If it were me I wouldn't waste your time like that other guy
Making my way to your house on a Friday night
Tell you that I love you just to go and leave you dry
Leave you empty in the bed asking why

If I were you
I wouldn't throw my heart into an empty fire
If I were you
I wouldn't trust that lie based on some headless desire
But you know the truth
Well baby I do too so how do we make this right?
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
It would be me

You run around, round this town
Getting high on him, trying to drown me out
In the back of your mind you know he's not that guy
He's just got you blind
He'll leave you with no doubt

If it were me I wouldn't waste your time like that other guy
Making my way to your house on a Friday night
Tell you that I love you just to go and leave you dry
Leave you empty in the bed asking why

If I were you
I wouldn't throw my heart into an empty fire
If I were you
I wouldn't trust that lie based on some headless desire
But you know the truth
Well baby I do too so how do we make this right?
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
It would be me

If I were you
I wouldn't throw my heart into an empty fire
If I were you
I wouldn't trust that lie based on some headless desire
But you know the truth
Well baby I do too so how do we make this right?
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
It would be me
