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
Rain on my parade
You never say a word
Unless it's to complain
It's driving me insane
If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars
For all that I am
If I were you
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
It all could go away
In one blink of an eye
It happens all the time
If I were you
Holding the world right in my hand
The first thing I do
Is thank the stars above
Tell the ones I love that I knew
Yeah if I were you
Oh yeah if I were you
If I were you
Oh if I were you
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
If I were you
Holding the world right in my hand
The first thing I 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
