Fire & Grace - Hilltop Hoods, 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 vibrant 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 Stans

And they are all gods, they are all goddesses

We are just a hive in the halls of our offices

We are just admirers, but find that the thing is

The happiest people that we know the least ambitious

Look, with success comes the lessons like

Don’t get me wrong, I feel blessed but like every time,

I’ve been sitting in a winning position, I felt confusion

'Cause it didn’t feel like winning just felt like I wasn’t losing

I’m trying to destroy my heroes

Because I’m not trying to claw at peaks

I can admire your fire 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 got grace under fire, you got fire and grace

But if I were, if I were, if I were in your place
