IF I WERE YOU
by Patty Reese
If I were you and you were me
would you understand, could you see
why the broken the broken hearted just can
If I Were You
If I were you and you were me
would you understand, could you see
why the broken the broken hearted just can’t start
to build a Cadillac love with just spare parts?
If I were you and you were me
could you understand, would you see
what you lost of yourself in your younger days
needs the biggest love to be replaced?
If I were you and you were me
Everything I’m praying for
I’m hoping will be yours
all the good I’m searching for
I’m hoping will land at your front door
If I were you I’d want that too
A higher love, a final rescue
from the bitterness inside your chest
from the anger that’s made your life such a mess
from the times you were knocked upside your head
by the hands of the ones that you love best
Don’t you think it’s time to put that hate to rest?
I want that too
for me and you
__
time to put that hate to rest?
