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
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
