If I were you
"IF I WERE YOU"
The hurt you made me go through,
Leaves me wishing I were you
If only I could
I'll make the tables turn
And put you in my shoes.
.
I wish I could somehow, someway
trade places with you,
Be you, you me
Even for just a day or two.
.
I'll requite every smile,
Seeing through your eyes
I'ld discern what you have in mind,
And love, wouldn't look like a crime.
.
When you say you see the future in me,
I'ld say I see the moon in you.
When you say 'you look cool'
I'll say 'you re super cute'
.
If I were you
This is what I'll do;
I'll requite every move,
And in my heart make you a big room.
.
I may not feel,
exactly the way you do
But I'll fight too
And won't make this any harder for you.
.
I had always wanted to say,
that I love you
Yes, I really do
But thanks to you,
We're on opposite covers
Of Love's sacred book.
.
If I were you,
The one thing I'll do
Is say the words
"I love you too"
