Shelby Lynne - If I Were Smart Lyrics

Shelby Lynne Lyrics

"If I Were Smart"

My thoughts are a little cloudy
My feelings are around me
Yesterday is passed tomorrow's gone
Let it go I think I'm crazy
You're gone and it's just daybreak
Shoulda known you wouldn't stay too long
I can't tell you what time it is
I'm not wise, it's just the way it is

If I were smart
I wouldn't have a heart
If I were smart
I wouldn't have a heart

When you called me baby
I'm needing you already
You don't even recognize you're gone
I hate this cloud I'm under
And I can't stand the thunder
I always preyed on the happiness you brought
Sands in hourglasses hit the ground
Millions of them, lost and never found

If I were smart
I wouldn't have a heart
Hmm, if I were smart
I wouldn't have a heart

Oh, the tin man played it cool, he said love's for fools
But his emptiness was real, he wanted more
So when his chest was pounding, he wished he'd never found it
'Cause the hurt came hard and tears began to pour

If he were smart
He wouldn't have a heart
Hmm, if we were smart
We wouldn't have a heart
Hmm, if I was smart
I wouldn't have a heart
