If I Were You

If I were you

I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do

I wouldn't make them cry

If I were you

I would learn to see the other point of view

You don't even try

Let's say that you were me

We'd do things differently

Cut out all the fear and lies

Then maybe you could see

The possibility to compromise

If I were you

I would look at all the quarreling we do

Cause that's no help at all

If I were you

I would give a little credit where it's due

That would be my call

Let's say that you were me

We'd do things differently

And cut out all the hurt and pain

Then maybe you could see

The possibility to love again

If I had the choice

You would make yourself heard

Without raising your voice

In my master plan

You could get your own way

Without raising your hand

I don't want to be the one

Getting it wrong time after time

I no longer want to play games

For any reason or rhyme

Nobody's asking you to do something

You don't want to do

If I were you

I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do

I wouldn't make them cry

If I were you

I would learn to see the other point of view

But you don't even try

If I were you
