Saga - If I Were You lyrics

I've been told the heart is fragile at the best of times But how much pain should we endure? There's something to be said for suffering & compromise But I know one thing is for sure Just because this time you're sure you're not to blame The answer still remains the same If I were you I'd disregard the past, Remember what they say The sun will one day re-appear If I were you I'd catch my breath Just close the door & walk away And watch the clouds all disappear I know your heart is torn, for that you have my sympathy Believe me I know how it feels The time between each breath may seem like an eternity But given time the heart does heal Now, just because this time you're sure you're not to blame The answer still remains the same If I were you I'd show the world You'll live to love another day So let your smile replace the tears If I were you I'd do my best To hide my state of disarray And if you need me I'll be here
