If I Were You Lyrics

Tamia

I look in the mirror, with you in my arms
And I see a reflection
Of a smile that says you believe in love
And just for a moment, I drifted away
But I couldnt stay cuz
A hint of love, a bit of fear
Im tryin to say
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
Cuz I think my heart has given up
If I were you, I wouldnt be here
Ooh yeah
Im tryin to protect you
From the lies that your heart tells
Even though it says that you love me
All I see is pain and misery
Seasons may change
But I cant forget the days of old
My heart ached when you walked away
I said Id never love again
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
Cuz I think my heart has given up
If I were you, I wouldnt be here
The days go by
And I feel that you could make me happy
Time goes on
And I feel that love is at my door
And though I tell myself that youre the one
Who said those words before
Thought it hurts too much
I cant trust in love
Again
Again
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
Cuz my heart has given up
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
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
My heart has given up
Cant be here
If I were you, I wouldnt be here
If I were you I would stay right where you are
Cuz my heart has given up
If I were you, I wouldnt be here
Ooh
I wouldnt, if I were you
I wouldnt be here
Oh oh oh
