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
