If I Were You - Kasey Chambers

If I was good I'd tell everyone I know,

If I was free I wouldn't be so keen to go,

If I was wrong I would take it like a man,

If I was smart I would get out while I can,

If I was broken I would probably let it be,

If I was dying I wouldn't go out quietly,

If I was lost well my heart would feel the same,

If I was honest I would probably be ashamed.



But if I were you I would notice me,

If I were you I would wait for me,

If I were you I would easily hold me and say it's all gonna be OK.



If I was rich I would spend it on my own,

If I was dignified I'd only smoke at home,

If I was dark I would only dress in black,

If I was chosen I would gladly give it back.



It's not for you to judge from all this kinda stuff,

I'm only half of what you see.

Si j'étais bon, je le dirais à tous ceux que je connais,

Si j'étais libre, je n'aurais pas envie d'y aller,

Si j'avais tort, je le prendrais comme un homme,

Si j'étais intelligent, je sortirais tant que je peux,

Si j'étais brisé, je le laisserais probablement être,

Si je mourais, je ne sortirais pas tranquillement,

Si j'étais bien perdu, mon c?ur ressentirait la même chose,

Si j'étais honnête, j'aurais probablement honte.



Mais si j'étais toi, je me remarquerais,

Si j'étais toi je m'attendrais,

Si j'étais toi, je me tiendrais facilement et je dirais que tout ira bien.



Si j'étais riche, je le dépenserais seul,

Si j'étais digne, je ne fumerais qu'à la maison,

Si j'étais sombre, je ne m'habillerais qu'en noir,

Si j'étais choisi, je le rendrais volontiers.



Ce n'est pas à vous de juger de tout ce genre de choses,

Je ne suis que la moitié de ce que tu vois.
