I look in the mirror, with you in my arms
And I see a reflection
Of a smile that says you believe in love
And just for a moment, I drifted away
But I couldn’t stay cuz
A hint of love, a bit of fear
I’m tryin’ to say

If I were you, I wouldn’t be here
If I were you I would stay right where you are
I wouldn’t come near this broken heart
Just turn around and leave here
And find someone who won’t hurt you
Make sure that she still believes in love
Cuz I think my heart has given up
If I were you, I wouldn’t be here
Ooh yeah

I’m tryin’ to protect you
From the lies that your heart tells
Even though it says that you love me
All I see is pain and misery
Seasons may change
But I can’t forget the days of old
My heart ached when you walked away
I said I’d never love again

If I were you, I wouldn’t be here
If I were you I would stay right where you are
I wouldn’t come near this broken heart
Just turn around and leave here
And find someone who won’t hurt you
Make sure that she still believes in love
Cuz I think my heart has given up
If I were you, I wouldn’t be here

The days go by
And I feel that you could make me happy
Time goes on
And I feel that love is at my door
And though I tell myself that you’re the one
Who said those words before
Thought it hurts too much
I can’t trust in love
Again
Again

If I were you, I wouldn’t be here
If I were you I would stay right where you are
I wouldn’t come near this broken heart
Just turn around and leave here
And find someone who won’t hurt you
Make sure that she still believes in love
Cuz my heart has given up

If I were you, I wouldn’t be here
If I were you I would stay right where you are
I wouldn’t come near this broken heart
Just turn around and leave here
And find someone who won’t hurt you
Make sure that she still believes in love

If I were you, I wouldn’t be here
If I were you I would stay right where you are
I wouldn’t come near this broken heart
Just turn around and leave here
And find someone who won’t hurt you
Make sure that she still believes in love
My heart has given up
Can’t be here

If I were you, I wouldn’t be here
If I were you I would stay right where you are
Cuz my heart has given up
If I were you, I wouldn’t be here
Ooh
I wouldn’t, if I were you
I wouldn’t be here
Oh oh oh
