Lyrics
In Her Shoes
Verse 1:
Lately
I've been wondering where you are
I've been wondering if you think of me
Is she making you happy like I could
And maybe
I've been waitin for you to say
That you know you made a big mistake
When you left me standing at that door
I could never understand why you felt that you had to hurt me
Now I'm just cryin
Inside like I'm dyin
And wishin
I just had her name
Hook:
You know that I
I wish that I was standing in her shoes
I wish it was me that's next to you
The one you've given your heart to
But you just lied
And cuz of that I knew I'd never do
But if it was me in her shoes
Then I would do the same to you
When you cry
Verse 2:
Tell me
Are you feelin like she's creepin
Are you havin trouble sleepin
Are you constantly checkin on your phone
And maybe
Now you feel a little lonely
When she's not at home
Believe me I know
I know, I know
I could never be the one that makes you
Lose no sleep or worry
But don't worry
The tables are turning
And baby, now its not so fun
Hook:
Bridge:
And now its your turn
And I hope that it burns you
To know that you hurt me
The way that she hurt you
But deep down inside
I
I wish it was I
Was blind
And I was wasting my time
And I'll just never understand the reasons
Why I can't stop hurting
But if I see it from her view
Then baby, I can be like you
Hook repeats 2x with ad libs:
