If It Were You

All the times I've tried to truly understand
The reasons why she kissed another
Never would prepare my fragile mind
If you should ever take a lover

If it were you, everything would stop
Birds in the blue, waves along the dock
If it were true
My hopeless heart would break into pieces if it were you

If I come across a little personil
If's just the past come back to haunt me
If I'm just undone, a passing glance
Can conjure up the thoughts that taunt me

If it were you, everything would stop
Birds in the blue, waves along the dock
If it were true
My hopeless heart would break into pieces if it were you

Let me converse with the universe
Visualize some big change
Crazily consider a brand new heart
And hope it can cope with the strain

Though at certain times I seem to find myself
On darker paths than I would choose to
Never would I feel that I was blind
Unless my life should ever lose you

If it were you, everything would stop
Birds in the blue, waves along the dock
If it were true
My hopeless heart would break into pieces if it were you
Everything would stop
Birds in the blue, hands upon the clock
If it were true
My hopeless heart would break into pieces if it were you
