If I Were You - Tamia

I look in the mirror

With you in my arms

And i see a reflection

Of a smile that say’s

You believe in love

And just for a moment

I drifted away

But i couldnt stay darling

A hint of love

A bitter fear

I’m trying to say

(chorus)

If i were you i wouldnt be here

If i were you i would stay right where you are

I wouldnt come near this broken heart

Just turn around and leave here

And find someone who wont hurt you

Make sure that she still believes in love

Because i think my heart has given up

If i were you i wouldnt be here

I’m trying to protect you

From the lies that your heart tells

Even though

It says that you want me

All i see is pain and misery

Season’s may change

But i can’t forget

The days of old

My heart ached when you walked away

I said i’d never love again

(chorus)

If i were you i wouldnt be here

If i were you i would stay right where you are

I wouldnt come near this broken heart

Just turn around and leave here

And find someone who wont hurt you

Make sure that she still believes in love

Because i think my heart has given up

If i were you i wouldnt be here

Days go by

And i feel that you can make me happy

Time goes on

And i feel the love is at my door

And though i tell myself

That youre the one

Who said those words before

Though it hurts too much

I cant trust in love again

Again

(chorus)

If i were you i wouldnt be here

If i were you i would stay right where you are

I wouldnt come near this broken heart

Just turn around and leave here

And find someone who wont hurt you

Make sure that she still believes in love
