She can feel you 
Drifting far away 
But she can't see through 
What you do not say 
Take a step back 
Don't lose your ground 
Remember how you felt before 
And if you care about her 
Show her that you're sure 
 
If I were you 
My prized possessions 
Would be the ones I'd hold so close 
'Cause when you lose your love 
You lose what means the most 
If I were you 
I'd hold affection 
 
Higher than any star in sight 
Take this to heart 
And you'll never part 
These are the things that I would do 
If I were you 
 
Simple pleasures 
The hardest to be found 
Can't be measured 
'Till they're not around 
Maybe she'll go 
Maybe she'll stay 
But she'd rather go than fade away 
Sometimes the sweetest sorrow 
Is the saddest fate 
 
[Chorus] 
 
Take a step back 
Don't lose your ground 
Remember how you felt before 
And if you care about her 
Show her that you're sure 
 
If I were you 
I'd hold affection  
Higher than any star in sight 
Take this to heart 
And you'll never part 
These are the things that I would do 
If I were you 
Take this to heart 
You'll never part 
These are the things that I would do 
If I were you
