If It Was Me

Thursday morning I’m sat in the window seat
Facing the exit cause I’m nervous we’re 'bout to meet
And it’s raining but I know that’s not why you’re late
Probably rehearsing all the things that you wanna say
I hear the bell and I know it’s you at the door
Take a deep breath cause there’s no hiding anymore
Pull out the chair and you order your favourite drink
Won’t go to war 'til I ask how you’ve been
If you think you’re faultless
This is so hopeless
Why can’t you just own up
Turn around, say, «Sorry, I’ve done you wrong»
If it was me, I’d be kinder
With my words, I’d be wiser
And for my friends, I’d be a fighter
But you don’t play fair, no
And if it was me, I’d be honest
Throw my hands up, say I’ve been thoughtless
If you live life like it’s lawless
You can’t play fair
It’s getting heated and I don’t feel no good at this
Confrontation is a lesson I seemed to skip
You say you’re sorry, but you still wanna argue your point
Even the waiter wants us out of this joint
If you think you’re faultless
This is so hopeless
Why can’t you just own up
Turn around, say, «Sorry, I’ve done you wrong»
If it was me, I’d be kinder
With my words, I’d be wiser
And for my friends, I’d be a fighter
But you don’t play fair, no
And if it was me, I’d be honest (If it was me, I’d be honest)
Throw my hands up, say I’d been thoughtless
If you live life like it’s lawless
You can’t play fair
Now you got me like (Oh)
If it was you, looking through me
Would you be (Woah)
Seeking the same apology?
Like (Oh, woah, oh)
If it was you, looking through me (Oh, woah, oh)
Would I turn around say, «Sorry, I’ve done you wrong»?
If it was me, I’d be kinder
With my words, I’d be wiser
And for my friends, I’d be a fighter
But you don’t play fair
If it was me, I’d be honest
Throw my hands up, say, «I've been thoughtless»
If you live life like it’s lawless
You can’t play fair, no, no and
If it was me, I’d be kinder
With my words, I’d be wiser
And for my friends, I’d be a fighter
But you don’t play fair, no, oh (But you don’t play fair)
And if it was me, yeah, and if it was me (And if it was me, I would be honest)
You know for my friends I’d be a fighter
But you don’t play fair
