If That Were Me

Melanie C.

Where do they go and what do they do?
They're walking on by
They're looking at you
Some people stop, some people stare
But would they help you and do they care?

How did you fall?
Did you fall at all?
Are you happy where you are sleeping underneath the stars?
When it's cold is it your hope that keeps you warm?

A spare bit of change is all that I give
How is that gonna help when you've got nowhere to live?
Some turn away so they don't see
I bet you'd look if that were me

How did you fall?
Did you fall at all?
Is it lonely where you are sleeping in between parked cars?
When it thunders where do you hide from the storm?

Could you ever forgive my self-pity?
When you've got nothing and you're living on the streets of the city
I couldn't live without my phone
But you don't even have a home

How did we fall?
Can we get up at all?
Are we happy where we are on our lonely little star?
When it's cold is it your hope that keeps you warm?

Where do they go and what do they do?
They're walking on by
They're looking at you
They're walking on by
They're looking at you
