Jake Banfield - If I Were You

If it were me
I wouldn't be the one to leave your side.
If it were me
You wouldn't be crying all **** 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 askin' 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 careless desire.
But you know the truth
Well, baby, I do too
So why don't we
Make this right?
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
It'd be me.

You run around, around this town
Gettin' high on him
Tryna drown me out.
In the back of your mind
You know he's not that guy
He 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 askin' 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 careless desire.
But you know the truth
Well, baby, I do too
So why don't we
Make this right?
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
It'd be me.

If I were you
I wouldn't throw my heart
Into an empty fire.
And if I were you
I wouldn't trust that lie
Based on some careless desire.
But you know the truth
Well, baby, I do too
So why don't we
Make this right?
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
It'd be me.
