It's no good to lose heart it's no good to lose sight
It's no good to have nowhere to go that feels right
You can trust me on that one you sure shouldn't try it
You sure shouldn't let yourself get right inside it

If I could be you I'd be happy with that
My regrets would be few and my future not black
Yeah I could be happy with that

It's no good to get numb it's no good to get tight
It's no good to wake up and then find you're alright
No you don't get off easy well you can't escape it
You wouldn't believe just how long you can take it

If I could be you I'd be happy with that...

Sometimes life can be hard when you give love and no one will take it
[ steel - fiddle ]
If I could be you I'd be happy with that
My regrets would be few and my future not black
For a minute or two walk in some other shoes
Yeah I could be happy with that
