I was eager, I was happy
always trying, self educating
told my teacher, I could make it

she said better let it go or you'll regret it

I could've been that man

Now I live out of cans
I used to know it all
Now I've forgotten everything & anything


I'm just a
Drained Brain - left without a future

With a
Vain stain - covering my head
& it's a

Shame shame - I coulda done it better
but I settled for the pleasure
of a mundane daydream



I was clever, I was seeking

motivated, self believing
told my best friend, I'd be flying
he said nothing's fair so nothing's worth trying


I could've been the man
now I'm an also-ran

I should've carried on
but I can't remember who I was, or who I am


(Chorus)
