Lohan became known as a triple threat after signing with Casablanca Records and releasing two studio albums, the platinum-certified Speak (2004) and gold-certified A Little More Personal (Raw) (2005). She also starred in the comedies Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) and Just My Luck (2006). In order to showcase her range, Lohan began choosing roles in independent films such as A Prairie Home Companion and Bobby (both 2006) and Chapter 27 (2007). Her reported behavior during the filming of the dramedy Georgia Rule in 2006 marked the start of a series of personal struggles that would plague her life and career for most of the next decade. She became a fixture in the tabloid press for her frequent legal issues, court appearances and stints in rehabilitation facilities. This period saw her lose several roles, negatively impacting her career and public image. In an attempt to return to acting, she appeared in Liz & Dick (2012) and The Canyons (2013), but were both met with negative reviews.
In 2013, under the guidance of Oprah Winfrey, Lohan filmed the docu-series Lindsay (2014), which depicted her returning to work. She subsequently made her stage debut in the London West End production of Speed-the-Plow (2014), starred in the second season of the comedy series Sick Note (2018), and served as a panelist in the first season of Masked Singer Australia (2019). Between 2016 and 2018, she opened three beach clubs in Greece, which were the focus of the MTV reality television series Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club (2019). After signing a multi-picture deal with Netflix, Lohan starred in the romantic comedy Falling for Christmas (2022).
If You Were Me
Lindsay Lohan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were my everything
And then I found out that we meant nothing from someone on the street
And I never saw it coming never saw it coming
No I never saw it coming never saw something
I believed all the things you said I believed in you
If you were me would you push you?
Would you cry out would you break down?
Would you wait for karma to come around?
Would you give up?
Would it be enough
To make you never ever wanna be in love
What would you do, what would you do if you were me?
Would it be through?
I don't know what's left to talk about but I found it hard to leave
With us so closure how could you want her
When you were still with me
And I never saw it coming never saw it coming
No I never saw it coming never saw something
I believe all the things you said I believed in you
If you where me would you push you
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you
Would you cry out would you break down?
Would you wait for karma to come around?
Would you give up?
Would it be enough?
To make you never ever wanna be in love
What would you do what would you do if you were me?
Would it be through?
You turned something so good so bad
Threw out all the things we had
Put yourself in my shoes it?s sad
I believed all the things that you said I believed in you
If you where me would you push you
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you
Would you cry out would you break down?
Would you wait for karma to come around?
Would you give up?
Would it be enough?
To make you never ever wanna be in love
What would you do what would you do if you were me?
Would it be through?
Would it be through?
What would you do if you where me
If you were me what would you do?
What would you
What would you
What would you, do?
The lyrics of Lindsay Lohan's song, "If You Were Me," express feelings of betrayal and heartbreak in a romantic relationship. The singer says that she had trusted and believed in her partner, but then she found out from someone on the street that their relationship meant nothing to him. The singer is understandably upset by this news and wonders what her partner would do if he were in her position. She muses about whether he would push himself and try to understand her feelings or simply give up on love altogether.
The song's chorus is particularly powerful as it asks the listener to imagine what they would do in the singer's situation. Would they forgive their partner? Would they wait for karma to strike their partner? Would they give up on love entirely? These questions reveal the confusion and hurt that accompany a relationship that has suddenly come to an end.
The song's lyrics and melody were written by Jonathan "J.R." Rotem, Kara DioGuardi, and Lindsay Lohan herself. It was the first single from Lohan's third studio album, "A Little More Personal (Raw)," which was released in 2005. Rotem also produced the song.
Line by Line Meaning
You were the one thing that one thing that I could count on
You were my anchor, my constant amidst the constant changes of life.
You were my everything
You were my life, my soul, my reason for being.
And then I found out that we meant nothing from someone on the street
I learned from a stranger that our relationship was a lie.
And I never saw it coming never saw it coming
No I never saw it coming never saw something
I was blindsided, caught completely off guard.
I believed all the things you said I believed in you
I trusted you completely and believed every word you said.
If you were me would you push you?
If our roles were reversed, would you treat me the way you have?
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you
Would you be magnanimous enough to forgive yourself for the pain you've caused me?
Would you cry out would you break down?
Would you experience the same pain and anguish that I am now feeling?
Would you wait for karma to come around?
Would you hope for just desserts in the form of negative consequences for your actions?
Would you give up?
Would the pain of this relationship make you swear off love forever?
Would it be enough
To make you never ever wanna be in love
Would the trauma of this relationship be enough to keep you from experiencing love again?
I don't know what's left to talk about but I found it hard to leave
With us so closure how could you want her
When you were still with me
I don't know what else there is to say, but it was hard to move on when there was no real closure. How could you move on to someone else when you were still with me?
You turned something so good so bad
Threw out all the things we had
Put yourself in my shoes it?s sad
I believed all the things that you said I believed in you
You took something beautiful and turned it into something ugly. You discarded all that we had built together. If you could only understand the pain you've caused me.
What would you do if you where me
If you were me what would you do?
If you were in my position, what would you do?
What would you
What would you
What would you, do?
What actions would you take?

[Verse 1]
You were the one thing that I could count on
You were my everything
And then I found out that we mean nothing
From someone on the street
[Pre-Chorus]
And I never saw it coming, never saw it coming
No, I never saw it coming, never saw something
I believed all the things that you said, I believed in you
[Chorus]
Well, if you were me
Would you push you?
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you?
Would you cry out?
Would you break down?
Or would you wait for karma to come around?
Would you give up?
Would it be enough to make you never ever wanna be in love?
What would you do, what would you do?
If you were me, would it be through?
[Verse 2]
I don't know what's left to talk about but
I found it hard to leave
Without some closure
How could you want her
When you were still with me?
[Pre-Chorus]
And I never saw it coming, never saw it coming
No, I never saw it coming, never saw something
I believed all the things that you said, I believed in you
[Chorus]
Well, if you were me
Would you push you?
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you?
Would you cry out?
Would you break down?
Or would you wait for karma to come around?
Would you give up?
Would it be enough to make you never ever wanna be in love?
What would you do, what would you do?
If you were me, would it be through?
[Bridge]
You turned something so good so bad
Threw out all the things that we had
Put yourself in my shoes, it's sad
I believed all the things that you said, I believed in you
[Chorus]
Well, if you were me
Would you push you?
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you?
Would you cry out?
Would you break down?
Or would you wait for karma to come around?
Would you give up?
Would it be enough to make you never ever wanna be in love?
What would you do, what would you do?
If you were me, would it be through?
Would it be through?
[Outro]
What would you do if you were me?
If you were me, what would you do?
What would you, what would you, what would you do?

Well just blow me down, moxy. Just Dance on my grave, groovy. It's not like you take apologies easily, rosy. Don't care enough to give up on you and me, but Mark my words, it's true, we love us, right?
@jongen6077
I think this is her most annoying song, because it can be so in your head that it would be crazy.

Reality of a rockstar. 200 episodes in 340 days. MTV. Ask. Have other bands on. Metallica to kiss. Taylor to lady to Gwen to lizzo to duff to dolly. City to song. Choose such performances.
