She can feel you drifting far away
But she can't see through what you do not say
Take a step back, don't lose your ground
Remember how you felt before
And if you care about her
Show her that you're sure
If I were you my prized possessions
Would be the ones I'd hold so close
'Cause when you lose your love, you lose what means the most
If I were you I'd hold affection
Higher than any star in sight
Take this to heart and you'll never part
These are the things that I would do if I were you...
Simple pleasures, the hardest to be found
Can't be measured 'till they're not around
Maybe she'll go, maybe she'll stay
But she'd rather go than fade away
Sometimes the sweetest sorrow
Is the saddest fate
If I were you my prized possessions
Would be the ones I'd hold so close
'Cause when you lose your love, you lose what means the most
If I were you I'd hold affection
Higher than any star in sight
Take this to heart and you'll never part
These are the things that I would do if I were you...
Take a step back, don't lose your ground
Remember how you felt before
And if you care about her
Show her that you're sure
If I were you I'd hold affection
Higher than any star in sight
Take this to heart and you'll never part
These are the things that I would do if I were you
Take this to heart, you'll never part
These are the things that I would do if I were you...
If I were you
If I were you...
