Could Have Been Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't wanna live as an untold story
Rather go out in a blaze of glory
I can't hear you, I don't fear you
I'll live now 'cause the bad die last
Dodging bullets with your broken past
I can't hear you, I don't fear you now
Wrapped in your regret
What a waste of blood and sweat
Oh, oh, oh
I wanna taste love and pain
Wanna feel pride and shame
I don't wanna take my time
Don't wanna waste one line
I wanna live better days
Never look back and say
It could have been me
It could have been me
Yeah
Don't wanna wake up on a Monday morning
The thought of work's getting my skin crawling
I can't fear you, I don't hear you now
Wrapped in your regret
What a waste of blood and sweat
Oh, oh, oh
I wanna taste love and pain (I wanna taste love)
Wanna feel pride and shame
I don't wanna take my time (no)
Don't wanna waste one line (hey)
I wanna live better days (better days)
Never look back and say
It could have been me (it could have been me)
It could have been me (it could have been me)
I wanna taste love and pain (I wanna taste love and pain)
Wanna feel pride and shame (wanna feel pride and shame)
Don't wanna take my time (don't wanna waste my time)
Don't wanna waste one line (don't wanna waste one line)
Wanna live better days
Never look back and say (never look back and say)
It could have been me (it could have been me)
It could have been me (oh, it could have been me)
It could have been me (it could have been me)
