If I Were You Lyrics
You seem to find the dark when everything is bright
You look for all thats wrong instead of all thats right
Does it feel good to you to rain on my parade
You never say a word unless its to complain
Its 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 ever dreamed
Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be
So whats 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 world i love that i do
If i were you5x
So whats 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 world i love
Take a breath and enjoy the view
Live the life that i’ve wanted to
If i were you3x

Running Away
I don’t want you to give it all up
And leave your own life collecting dust
And I don’t want you to feel sorry for me
You never gave us a chance to be
And I don’t need you to be by my side
To tell me that everything’s alright
I just wanted you to tell me the truth
You know I’d do that for you
Why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
Cause I did enough to show you that I
Was willing to give and sacrifice
And I was the one who was lifting you up
When you thought your life had had enough
And when I get close, you turn away
There’s nothing that I can do or say
So now I need you to tell me the truth
You know I’d do that for you
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
Is it me, is it you
Nothing that I can do
To make you change your mind
Is it me, is it you
Nothing that I can do
Is it a waste of time?
Is it me, is it you
Nothing that I can do
To make you change your mind
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
…What is it I’ve got to say…
So why are you running away?
…To make you admit you’re afraid…
Why are you running away?
