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
