Tamia: If I Were You

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 darlin'
a hint of love a bitter fear
I'm trying 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 that 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

I'm tryin' to protect you
from the lies that your heart tells
even though it says that it wants me
all I see is pain and misery
seasons may change
but I can't forget the days of old
my heart ached when he walked away
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 that 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

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
But 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 that 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 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 that won't hurt you
make sure that she
make sure that she still believes in love
cuz my heart has given up
If I were you I wouldn't be here
