Fire & grace (feat. ruel)

If I were, if I were, if I were in your place
If the light that was shining upon you fell on my face
Oh I would have purpose, I would have peace if I had your fire and grace
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place

I've never seen you struggling with crisis
Who would've thought
Someone so violent was suffering in silence
I just thought if I could take your spot for a day
That would wash all of my problems away
But you wear that mirage of perfection like a mask for depression
Never asked if you're okay only asked for your blessing
I'm fathomless
Once I was blind with my judgements
But happiness doesn't coincide with abundance
If we could truly see the beauty in simplicity
Maybe you and me could soothe the beast and live blissfully
Is it our wonder or the struggle in our nature
That creates a hunger 'til we're coveting our neighbour

Because everybody want an ace of diamonds
When they're holding a deck of spades
We're all tryna fill a place inside us
A prison guard to an empty space

If I were, if I were, if I were in your place
If the light that was shining upon you fell on my face
Oh I would have purpose, I would have peace if I had your fire and grace
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place

Get it

When we find a value in other people's beauty
When all we see is champions and we are just fans
When we're so shallow and impressed by the jewellery
We find it so challenging 'cause we are just stands
And they are all gods, they are all goddesses
And we are just a hive in the halls of our offices
We are just admirers, we find that the thing is
The happiest people that we know the least ambitious
Look, when success comes the lessons like
No can be wrong and feel blessed but like every time
I've been standing in the winning position and felt confusion
'Cause it didn't feel like winning just felt like I was a loser
And I'm trying to destroy my heroes
Because I'm not trying to claw at pics
I can admire your fight but still know that we're
All born flawed human beings, you know

If you were in my place
You'd see your fire and grace

If I were, if I were, if I were in your place
If the light that was shining upon you fell on my face
Oh I would have purpose, I would have peace if I had your fire and grace
If I were, if I were, if I were in your place

Troubled waters can appear calm on the surface
A cool facade can be fueled by a furnace
I've got grace and the fire, you've got fire and grace
But if I were, if I were, if I were in your place
