If It Was Me - Sarah Close

Thursday morning I’m sat in the window seat

Facing the exit cause I’m nervous we’re 'bout to meet

And it’s raining but I know that’s not why you’re late

Probably rehearsing all the things that you wanna say

I hear the bell and I know it’s you at the door

Take a deep breath cause there’s no hiding anymore

Pull out the chair and you order your favourite drink

Won’t go to war 'til I ask how you’ve been

If you think you’re faultless

This is so hopeless

Why can’t you just own up

Turn around, say, «Sorry, I’ve done you wrong»

If it was me, I’d be kinder

With my words, I’d be wiser

And for my friends, I’d be a fighter

But you don’t play fair, no

And if it was me, I’d be honest

Throw my hands up, say I’ve been thoughtless

If you live life like it’s lawless

You can’t play fair

It’s getting heated and I don’t feel no good at this

Confrontation is a lesson I seemed to skip

You say you’re sorry, but you still wanna argue your point

Even the waiter wants us out of this joint

If you think you’re faultless

This is so hopeless

Why can’t you just own up

Turn around, say, «Sorry, I’ve done you wrong»

If it was me, I’d be kinder

With my words, I’d be wiser

And for my friends, I’d be a fighter

But you don’t play fair, no

And if it was me, I’d be honest (If it was me, I’d be honest)

Throw my hands up, say I’d been thoughtless

If you live life like it’s lawless

You can’t play fair

Now you got me like (Oh)

If it was you, looking through me

Would you be (Woah)

Seeking the same apology?

Like (Oh, woah, oh)

If it was you, looking through me (Oh, woah, oh)

Would I turn around say, «Sorry, I’ve done you wrong»?

If it was me, I’d be kinder

With my words, I’d be wiser

And for my friends, I’d be a fighter

But you don’t play fair

If it was me, I’d be honest

Throw my hands up, say, «I've been thoughtless»

If you live life like it’s lawless

You can’t play fair, no, no and

If it was me, I’d be kinder

With my words, I’d be wiser

And for my friends, I’d be a fighter

But you don’t play fair, no, oh (But you don’t play fair)

And if it was me, yeah, and if it was me (And if it was me, I would be honest)

You know for my friends I’d be a fighter

But you don’t play fair
