Person I Should Have Been

Mmm, mmm

I'm gonna start again

This world I painted black

Just needs some colour

I'm gonna live my life like the other

Person I should have been

I ain't tappin' out, no, no, no, no

To this dark and twisted dream

That's kept me living

I pray to my soul

To keep this fire burning

And when it does

I'm gonna let it shine

I'll make the best of this life I've got left

Got no time for no regrets

Gonna show you just what I can be

The person I should have been

And it might take time, take time

'Cause this life has taken it right out of me, yeah, yeah

I wanna change my perspective of reality

Be a much better version of me

The person I should have been

I make the best of this life I've got left

I put my sincerity to the test

Wake up my senses finally

The water washes me clean

What shouldn't have been has all been done

If I don't get a grip then the world has won

Making me think that I'll never be

The person I should have been

Who am I now?

A lonely man that's fallen down

No I can't change

The past that time has all burned out

But I know somewhere inside of me

Is the person that I could have been

Make the best of this life I got left

Got no time for no regrets

Gonna show you just what I can be

The person I should have been

What shouldn't have been has all been done

If I don't get a grip then the world has won

Make me think that I'll never be

The person I could have been

I said the person, person I could have been

I said the person, person I could have been

Oh, oh, oh, oh, the person I could have been

I said the person, person I could have been

Oh, oh, oh, oh, (the person I should have been)

La-la-la-la-la-la-la, the person I could have been
