Y ou seem to fin d the dark, when everything is bright
Y ou look for all that’s wrong, instead of all that’s right
D oes it feel g ood to you? To rain on m y parade
Y ou never sa y a word, u nless it’s to com plain…
It ‘s driving me in sane
I f I Were Yo u, holding the wo rld right in my h ands.
T he first thing I’d do, is thank the stars for all that I am…
If I Were You
and so on…

VERSE:
I don’t want you to give it all up
Leave your own life collecting dust
I don’t want you to feel sorry for me
You never gave us a chance to be
And I don’t need you to be by my side
To tell me that everything’s alright
I just wanted you to tell me the truth
You know I’d do that for you
CHORUS:
Why are you running away
Why are you running away
VERSE:
Cause I did enough to show you that i
was willing to give and sacrifice
And I was the one who was lifting you up
when you thought your life had had enough
and when i get close you turn away
theres nothing that i can do or say
so now i need you to tell me the truth
you know i’d do that for you
CHORUS:
Why are you running away
Why are you running away
BRIDGE:
Riff for the Bridge:
(3 times)(3 times)
Is it me Is it you
Nothing that I can do
to make you change your mind
is it me is it you
Nothing that I can do
is it a waste of time
CHORUS:
Why are you running away
Why are you running away

Verse:
Go o n
Make me feel it’s useless
When in fact it’s
you that need to have me near
So now
Keep me at safe distance
And with a little persist
ence I’ll make it crystal clear
Chorus:
I’ ll be aroun d
Only if you want me to
Be there by your side
I’m read y for y ou
So don’t be afraid
Cause I know what you’re going through
So when you think it’s time
I’m ready for you
Now you seem to be content with
A one sided friendship
with you I’ve got to chase
Slow down so I can smell the roses
But the road you chose
is crooked and unpaved
My tires are spinning but to no avail
That I’ll be around
Only if you want me to
Be there by your side
I’m ready for you
Don’t be afraid
Cause I know what you’re going through
So when you think it’s time
I’m ready for you
I’m ready for you
That I’ll be around
Only if you want me to
Be there by your side
I’m ready for you
I’ll be around
Cause I know what you’re going through
So when you think it’s time
I’m ready for you
