[Intro] Mm… If I were you [Verse 1] You laugh it off, you keep it light Like nothing ever lands You say you’re fine, you’ll be alright With both your hands in sand I know that look, I know that smile The brave one you put on But every time you say “it’s cool” I hear what’s going on [Pre-Chorus] So I’ll say it soft, no drama Like a secret in a song [Chorus] If I were you, I’d slow down I’d let my chest breathe out If I were you, I’d tell the truth To the dark, to the doubt If I were you, I’d stop pretending That it doesn’t hurt at all If I were you, I’d choose myself Even if it makes things fall [Verse 2] You answer fast, you don’t look back You keep your nights too full You call it “busy”, call it “life” But it’s a quiet rule I don’t want to fix your story I don’t want to play the hero I just hate how you disappear Trying to be “easy” for people [Pre-Chorus 2] So I’ll say it plain, no pressure Just a line you can recall [Bridge] And maybe I’m talking to me Yeah, maybe that’s the point If I were you, I’d stay with me When the world gets loud and sharp [Final Chorus] If I were you, I’d slow down I’d let my chest breathe out If I were you, I’d tell the truth To the dark, to the doubt If I were you, I’d stop pretending That it doesn’t hurt at all If I were you, I’d choose myself Even if it makes things fall [Outro] If I were you… I’d come back to you.
