If I were you

I'm at a stage where my head starts to clear
You're on my mind, but the pain isn't there like it once was
It don't hurt like it did when you left us
I have to admit that somewhere down the line
I could pretend like a card house and cry in the classroom
On the chain at the mall on the bathroom floor

My confidence was at an all-time low
But that was then
Finally now, I know

I'd love me if I were you
I'd love me if I were you
Yeah, I come crawling back again
If I was in your shoes
I'd love me if I were you
I'd love me if I were you
Yeah, I come crawling back again
If I was in your shoes
If I were you

I was a girl you could bring to the parties
Stand there and smile by your side, sip Bacardi and ginger
You could tell all your friends: She's a singer, mhm
Gave you a change, opened up like a book
But all you ever cared about was how I looked on the ground
So your friends all could think you're the man

My confidence was at an all-time low
But that was then
Finally now, I know

I'd love me if I were you
I'd love me if I were you
Yeah, I come crawling back again
If I was in your shoes
I'd love me if I were you
I'd love me if I were you
Yeah, I come crawling back again
If I was in your shoes
If I were you

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
If I were you, if I were you (If only I were you)
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
(If only I were you)

I'd love me if I were you
I'd love me if I were you
Yeah, I come crawling back again
If I was in your shoes
But I'm not you
