Asking

If I were you

I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do

I wouldn't make them cry



If I were you

I would learn to see the other point of view

You don't even try



Let's say that you were me

We'd do things differently

Cut out all the fear and lies



Then maybe you could see

The possibility to compromise



If I were you

I would look at all the quarreling we do

Cause that's no help at all



If I were you

I would give a little credit where it's due

That would be my call



Let's say that you were me

We'd do things differently

And cut out all the hurt and pain



Then maybe you could see

The possibility to love again



If I had the choice

You would make yourself heard

Without raising your voice



In my master plan

You could get your own way

Without raising your hand



I don't want to be the one

Getting it wrong time after time

I no longer want to play games

For any reason or rhyme

Nobody's asking you to do something

You don't want to do



If I were you

I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do

I wouldn't make them cry



If I were you

I would learn to see the other point of view

But you don't even try



If I were you
