If You Were Me Lyrics by Bear Lake

If You Were Me

2011

[Verse 1]
Givin' up starts when you're all through waitin'
I know your pain
Tellin' me now you believe in someone else
You're such a fake
[Refrain]
And you go savin' up rain for everyone
And you fall, leap into the skies of setting suns
[Chorus]
And all the things you'll see, wouldn't feel right if they were free
It's the cost that guides the train, wouldn't feel right if they were sane
And did you rely on someone else, whose wasted mind believed itself?
To tеll you who to be wouldn't feel right if you were mе
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Cuttin' me off when you say I'm faking
I know you're right
Taking me back to believe in someone else
I saw you hide
[Refrain]
And you go savin' up rain for everyone
And you fall, leap into the skies of setting suns
[Chorus]
And all the things they'll see, wouldn't feel right if they were free
It's the cost that guides the train, wouldn't feel right if they were sane
And did you rely on someone else, whose wasted mind believed itself?
I tell you who to be, wouldn't feel right if you were me
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
They will gouge with their wicked tongue
They will terrorize the truth, whoa
No remorse for sorrow
Forget about the girl
They will take all you have left
Cuttin' me off when you say I'm faking
[Chorus]
And all the things you'll see, wouldn't feel right if they were free
It's the cost that guides the train, wouldn't feel right if they were sane
Did you rely on someone else, whose wasted mind believed itself?
I tell you who to be, wouldn't feel right if you were me
