[Intro: Ruel]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Chorus 1: Ruel]
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place
If the light that was shining upon you fell on my face
Oh, I would have purpose, I would have peace if I had your fire and grace
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place
[Verse 1: Pressure]
I'd never seen you struggling with crisis, who would have thought
That someone so vibrant was suffering in silence?
I just thought if I could take your spot for a day
That would wash all of my problems away, but you wear that
Mirage of perfection like a mask for depression
Never asked if you're okay, only asked for your blessing
I'm fathomless, once I was blind with my judgements
But happiness doesn't coincide with abundance
If we could truly see the beauty in simplicity
Maybe you and me could soothe the beast and live blissfully?
Is it our wonder or the struggle in our nature
That creates a hunger till we're coveting our neighbour?
Because everybody want an ace of diamonds
When they're holding a deck of spades
We're all tryna fill a place inside us
A prison guard to an empty space
[Chorus: Ruel]
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place
If the light that was shining upon you fell on my face
Oh, I would have purpose, I would have peace if I had your fire and grace
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place
[Verse 2: Suffa]
Get it
When we find our value in other people's beauty
When all we see is champions and we are just fans
When we're so shallow and impressed by the jewelry
We find it so challenging 'cause we are just Stans
And they are all gods, they are all goddesses
We are just the hive in the halls of our offices
We are just admirers, but find that the thing is
The happiest people that we know, the least ambitious
Look, with success comes the lessons like
Don't get me wrong, I feel blessed, but like every time
I've been sitting in a winning position, I felt confusion
'Cause it didn't feel like winning, just felt like I wasn't losing
I'm trying to destroy my heroes
Because I'm not trying to claw at peaks
I can admire your fire, but still know that we're
All born flawed human beings, you know?
[Refrain: Ruel]
If you were in my place
You'd see your fire and grace
[Chorus: Ruel]
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place
If the light that was shining upon you fell on my face
Oh, I would have purpose, I would have peace if I had your fire and grace
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place
[Post-Chorus: Ruel]
Troubled waters can appear
Calm on the surface
A cool façade can be
Fuelled by a furnace, I got
Grace under fire, you got
Fire and grace
But if I were, if I were, if I were in your place
[Outro: Ruel]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
