Lyrics:

Hoobastank - 'If I Were You'



[Verse 1:]

You seem to find the dark,

when everything is bright

You look for all that's wrong,

instead of all that's right

Does it feel good to you?

To rain on my parade

You never say a word,

unless it's to complain...

It's driving me insane



[Refrain:]

If I Were You,

holding the world wide in my hands.

The first thing I'd do,

is thank the stars for all that I *have*...

If I Were You



[Verse 2:]

Look what's around you now,

more than you ever dreamed

Have you forgotten

just how hard it used to be?

So what's it going to take?

For you to realize

That it all could go away,

in one blink of an eye...

It happens all the time



[Refrain:]

If I Were You,

holding the world right in my hands.

The first thing I'd do,

is thank the stars above,

tell the ones I love...

That I do



[Bridge:]

Yeah IF I WERE YOU,

Whoa, yeah IF I WERE YOU

IF I WERE YOU, whoaaaa

IF I WERE YOU



[Verse 3:]

So what's it going to take?

For you to realize

It all could go away,

in one blink of an eye...

it happens all the time!



[Chorus]

If I Were You,

holding the world right in my hands.

The first thing I'd do,

is thank the stars above,

FOR the *ones* I love...

Take a breath and enjoy the view

Live the life that I wanted to

If I Were You...

If I Were You...

If I Were You!
