If you were me, and I was you
Wouldn't we be right here
I can’t quite seem to catch my breath,
You wouldn't leave me this way right?

If you were me, and I was you
I can’t see what you’re so afraid of in that mirror
You wouldn't believe what I heard today
So I ask you please

If you were me, and I was you
Wouldn't we see so clear,
All that we fear, and brings us to tears
Like growing old without a soul to share

If you were me, and I was you
I’d bring you right down, back from the clouds
That swept you away from my embrace
And back to my arms, I hope you would stay

If you were me, and I was you
At least I'd be the one to leave
And head right down to what I deserve
So you could be free to love yourself
More than you showed in that awful last step.
