Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If I were you and you were me

I would say goodbye, turn around and leave

I'd do it all so differently, if I were you and you were me

[Verse 2]

Yeah, I would get up in the middle of a dinner, pour a drink on your head

I would never clean the room and I would never make the bed

'Cause if you knew the bullshit I was pulling in the past

If I were you, I'd never let me stab you in the back

[Verse 3]

Yeah, and I wonder if we flipped the script, I wouldn't be such a dick

If I was you and you was me

I wouldn't put up with this shit

But why is it we hurt each other? Why we so depressed and shit?

[Verse 4]

If I were you and you were me

I would say goodbye, turn around and leave

I'd do it all so differently, if I were you and you were me

If I were you, I'd look at me

See through all the lies, turn around and leave

I'd do it all so differently, if I were you and you were me

[Verse 5]

We never even kissed, yeah, I'd change that

You went back to your ex, I fucking hate that

The second that I showed any emotion

You cut me off, I guess that's just the motion

Good God, you're so mean

Girl, if I were you and you were me

I would never leave your heart this broken, this love is so annoying

[Verse 6]

If I were you and you were me

I would say goodbye, turn around and leave

I'd do it all so differently, if I were you and you were me

If I were you, I'd look at me

See through all the lies, turn around and leave

I'd do it all so differently, if I were you and you were me

If I were you

If I were you

If I were you

If I were you

[Verse 7]

Yeah, and I wonder if we flipped the script, I wouldn't be such a dick

If I was you and you was me

I wouldn't put up with this shit

But why is it we hurt each other? Why we so depressed and shit?

If I were you and you were me

I would say goodbye, turn around and leave

I'd do it all so differently, if I were you and you were me

If I were you, I'd look at me

See through all the lies, turn around and leave

I'd do it all so differently, if I were you and you were me

If I were you

If I were you

If I were you

If I were you
