Song Lyrics

If It Were You

Chicago

There's a time when the heart can no longer give in 
You'll try to stand up and fight 
You've known pain for so long and you know what's gone wrong
But you can't make it right
Another broken heart is all your feeling
How can you go on 
But the memories of times there was love in your eyes
Keep leading me on

Chorus:
If it were you 
Would you hold on and hope that it might 
Bring back the dreams we once knew
Or give up forever that part of your life
Tell me what you would do
If it were you

You can never take back all you've given in love 
No matter how hard you try
It's over and done you just have to let go 
Though a part of you died
Another waste of time is all that's left now
But life must go on 
All the nights that we spent, never thought
They would end
Why can't they go on

If it were you 
Would you hold on and hope 
that it might bring back the love we once knew 
or just give up forever that part of your life 
Tell me what would you do 
If it were you 
If it were you
Tell me what would you do 
If it were you 

Over and over I go back through time 
Didn't we promise our love till we die 
Asking you deep down inside 
Did we really try 
Another broken heart is all that is left
But life must go on 
All the nights that we spent, never thought 
They would end 
Why can't they go on

Chorus
