Wouldn't I Be Someone Lyrics

Maybe there's a reason why we broke up 
I could dedicate my life to something new 
But I must have been asleep but then I woke up 
Working out why I was still with you 
All the things I wish I could have been 

Wouldn't I be someone , someone 
And I would be respected 
In the prime of my life , I'll do ev'rything right 
I'll begin 
Wouldn't I be something , something 
I would get a reputation 
In the prime of my life , I'll do ev'rything right 
I'll begin 

(break) 

Midnight stars are shining on my shoeshine 
Telling me the things I'm gonna be 
Now the hurts all gone , I've pushed them all behind me 
And the world is gonna fall in love with me 
All the things I wish I could have been 

Wouldn't I be someone , someone 
And I would be respected 
In the prime of my life, I'll do ev'rything right 
I'll begin 
Wouldn't I be something, something 
I would get a reputation 
In the prime of my life , I'll do ev'rything right 
I'll begin
