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 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, 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
