Shelby Lynne - If I Were Smart Lyrics

 My thoughts are a little cloudy

My feelings are around me

Yesterday is passed tomorrow's gone

Let it go I think I'm crazy

You're gone and it's just daybreak

Shoulda known you wouldn't stay too long

I can't tell you what time it is

I'm not wise, it's just the way it is


If I were smart

I wouldn't have a heart

If I were smart

I wouldn't have a heart


When you called me baby

I'm needing you already

You don't even recognize you're gone

I hate this cloud I'm under

And I can't stand the thunder

I always preyed on the happiness you brought

Sands in hourglasses hit the ground

Millions of them, lost and never found


If I were smart

I wouldn't have a heart

Hmm, if I were smart

I wouldn't have a heart


Oh, the tin man played it cool, he said love's for fools

But his emptiness was real, he wanted more

So when his chest was pounding, he wished he'd never found it

'Cause the hurt came hard and tears began to pour


If he were smart

He wouldn't have a heart

Hmm, if we were smart

We wouldn't have a heart

Hmm, if I was smart

I wouldn't have a heart
