Wouldn’t I be someone

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 everything right.
I’ll begin.

Wouldn’t I be something, something.
I would get a reputation.
In the prime of my life, I’ll do everything right.
I’ll begin.

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 everything right.
I’ll begin.

Wouldn’t I be something, something.
I would get a reputation.
In the prime of my life, I’ll do everything right.
I’ll begin.
