Lyrics:

I brought my knife to a gun fight
Never sure of what the fuck is right
Always falling down, I'm losing my sight
My demons are more than a memory
My demons are more than I can see

My body aches, my mind is weak
There's a hole in my heart that can't be filled
Can I survive the tide?
Or will the storm take me away?
Hold on tight for this is more than a nightmare
It never shows and this affects me every bit
Will the storm take me away?

Infesting my soul each day,
I'm waiting on a signal to turn my skies from grey
Release this pain
I knew this day would come
Just burn all my thoughts I ever had
Burn them to the ground
Because I'm tired of going mad
I knew this day would come
I’m going mad

My body aches, my mind is weak
There's a hole in my heart that can't be filled
Can I survive the tide?
Or will the storm take me away?
Hold on tight for this is more than a nightmare
It never shows and this affects me every bit
Will the storm take me away?

In the end, everything is fucking put to rest
Happiness is a false reality
A vague reminder of how I used to be

[PzVox]

Reminder the drummer is also the clean vocalist

Seriously, one of the best bands from Dreambound... If I Were You really deserves more.

[FloridaSky]

It's literally as easy as it gets...
I see "If I Were You", I click.

[dominicbullene]

They have never released a bad song 🤘🏻 another banger

[marcinczyzewski]

Another awesome song from one of the best bands in metalcore in history of this genre. For me this band is legendary.
I hope they will keep doing this style which is very unique while only growing big and better known. They deserved the largest audience as possible.

[acanthrite]

If I were you, I'd add this your Spotify playlist right away.

[icanmakeeverythingilovedie]

These guys have got to have one of the most consistent discographies in metalcore. It's insane how good, and immediately recognizable, each of their songs are.

[drakie]

A sad acoustic version of this song would make 2020 the best!

[lilianjenae]

How are they not more popular. This song is beautiful. The lyrics are even better. 🥰

[ColeVickSheepShearer]

New York? I thought I loved this band. Now I really love this band. I can meet this band in reality. And these lyrics get me so ready for anything.

[AngeloVinSint]

Such an underrated band. They deserve to be bigger. Every album is 🔥

[YourFoolishPride]

Wow I'm so glad they are still together.

WOW I'm so glad they just keep getting better.

Now this song drops. YOU GUYS ARE MONSTERS. SO IMPRESSED.

[jakediertay]

If I were BLEGH strikes again. What an absolute banger 🤘🏻

[shiki]

2:45 that breakdown😍😍 If I were you never disappoints!

[LINKchris]

A few months ago discovered these guys by chance when End Of An Era album suddenly appeared in my recommendations list. What a discovery it was.

I have listened to a LOT of metalcore for many years and I have no fear in saying that these almost unknown guys from Poughkeepsie are by far THE BEST in the game. The atmosphere of each song is breathtaking.

[kingdum]

This has been the highlight of my day. I will never get tired of this band. Thank you for sharing!!

[brianbockus]

Ive always been an if i were you fan. Watching this band grow from the start has been a blessing. This song is absolutely solid!

[sibilbul]

This single still scream "Inner Signal" and its freaking awesome!

[wawanohwawan]

these guys stay true to their sound ever since they came out, much respect!

[dfgdfbsdfvv]

heavy breakdown like rifffs with melodic guitar pickings in the back and heavy screams on top of it ( THE ENTIRE OUTRO) is your recipe to success
