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
