Hoobastank - If I Were You 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!
