Let's trade places,

just for one day

So that I can understand

Why you say what you say

Why you speak of such things

That may never come true

But you make me believe

In me and you.

Let's trade places,

this could be fun

You can worry and cry

And I can play dumb

You can question your decisions,

Your self-worth, your past

And I can just kick back,

watch the game and relax.

Let's trade places,

This could be intense.

Maybe we can take all this mess

And make it make sense

If we flipped the switch

And saw into each other's heads

We can keep this love alive

Before we both end up dead.

Let's trade places

And walk a mile in each other's shoes.

You can see why I'm tired,

Tired of being used.

I can see why you do this

Without much remorse

And then maybe we'll realize

This relationship has run it's course.

If we could trade places,

Just for one day

Would we like who we are?

Would things be the same?

Would it take that much

For us to see

That maybe we just were never

Meant to be.
