[Verse 1]
You seem to find the dark when everything is bright
You look for all that's wrong instead of all that's right
Does it feel good to you to rain on my parade?
You never say a word unless it's to complain
It's driving me insane

[Chorus]
If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars for all that I have
If I were you

[Verse 2]
Look what surrounds you now
More than you ever dreamed
Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be?
So what's it going to take for you to realize?
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

[Chorus]
If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
Tell the ones I love that I do
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, if I were you, woah
Yeah, if I were you
If I were you, woah
If I were you

[Bridge]
So what's it going to take for you to realize?
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

[Chorus]
If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
For the ones I love
Take a breath and enjoy the view
Live the life that I've wanted to
If I were you, if I were you, if I were you
