Lyrics:
If It Was You version:
Don’t think I’ll confess
Why would I confess, that I?
Don’t think I’ll deny (Don’t think I’ll deny)
Why would I deny, that I?
And don’t be so hard on yourself
You won’t get better till you’re worse
Yeah you, send a little smile my way
Don’t be so hard on yourself
You won’t get better till you’re worse
Yeah you, send a little love my way
Every second I spend waiting
Drags me closer to this grave
I’m not alone, no I’m just on my own
And I, it’s a little cold outside, ooh
Don’t think I’ll escape (Don’t think I’ll escape)
Why would I escape you?
Don’t think I’ll replace (Don’t think I’ll replace)
How could I (How could I) replace you?
And don’t be so hard on yourself
You won’t get better till you’re worse
Yeah you, send a little smile my way
And don’t be so hard on yourself
You won’t get better till you’re worse
Yeah you, send a little love my way
And every second I spend waiting
Drags me closer to this grave
I’m not alone, no I’m just on my own
And I, it’s a little cold outside, ooh
And so, don’t be so hard on yourself
You won’t get better till you’re worse
So, send your love my way
"Lately" version:
Don’t be so hard on yourself
You can’t get better till you get worse
Just send a little smile my way
Don’t be so hard on yourself
You can’t get better till you get worse
Just send a little love my way
Don't think I'll confess
Don't think I'll confess that I
Don't think I'll deny
Don't think I'll deny that I
Every second I spend waiting
Drags me close to my grave
I’m not alone, no I’m just on my own
Why isn't it cold outside la-la-la-la-lately?
Why isn't it cold outside la-la-la-la-lately?
Don’t think I’ll replace
Don’t think I’ll replace you
Don't think I'll mad
Tell me, why should I be mad at you?
And every second I spend waiting
Drags me close to my grave
I’m not alone, I swear to god I’m just on my own
And why isn't it cold outside la-la-la-la-lately?
Why isn't it cold outside la-la-la-la-lately?
And don’t be so hard on yourself
You can’t get better till you get worse
Just send a little smile my way
And don’t be so hard on yourself
You can’t get better till you get worse
Just send a little love my way
