If I Were You

Edie Carey

I'm not so good at this kind of thing 
Too bad this has to be perfect 
I'm a decent player
I know how to sing 
But damn, damn this is tough

And hollow is all 
That comes out of me 
It all sounds so sickeningly familiar 
I can't believe I just said that aloud 
I can't believe you can stand to stand there

If I were you
If I were you 
If I were you
I'd leave me

Anyone halfway normal 
Would be scrambling 
To make their case 
I just get so damn scattered 
I can't remember what you even asked me

In the next ten seconds 
I've got to learn to think on my feet 
You'll be that much
Closer to the door 
You'll be sprinting down what used to be our street

If I were you
If I were you 
If I were you
I'd leave me

I tend to surrender before defeat 
It's so much neater that way 
With me never right 
And you never wrong 
There's no pretty way to balance the blame

I tend to focus on the darker side 
I forget there ever was light 
I tend to forget how I love this 
And the fucked up reasons why

If I were you
If I were you
If I were you 
I'd believe me
