Could've Been - Lauren Christy

Could've been a politician 
Tell people what to do 
With intellectual vision 
Hell, I could lie to you 
Could've been the inspiration 
For a love song or a prayer 
Maybe start a new religion 
Would anybody really care 

Could've been, should've been 
Could've been me somehow 
Could've been, should've been 
Could've been me 
Well, I'm not gonna get caught sittin' about 
Waitin' for the world to go round 
It's gonna be me, gonna be me 
Not should've, it's gonna be me 
Somehow, yeah yeah, somehow 
Yeah yeah 

Could've been on television 
Just one more talking head 
Sell you an apparition 
Buy this, and you'll wind up dead 
If there's a god above 
I shouldn't be so bad 
It's open to interpretation 
The best time that we never had 

Could've been, should've been 
Could've been me somehow 
Could've been, should've been 
Could've been me 
Well, I'm not gonna get caught sittin' about 
Waitin' for the world to go round 
It's gonna be me, gonna be me 
Not should've, it's gonna be me 
Somehow, yeah yeah, somehow 
Yeah yeah 

You beat yourself up over the things you say 
And someone else is losing their life today 
Before you walk away 
Start givin' it up, livin' it up, 
Till you drop 
You gotta diddle it up, diddle it up, 
Up till you 
Hey, hey 

Could've been, should've been 
Could've been me somehow 
Could've been, should've been 
Could've been me 
Well, I'm not gonna get caught sittin' about 
Waitin' for the world to go round 
It's gonna be me, gonna be me 
Not should've, it's gonna be me 
Somehow, yeah yeah, somehow 
Yeah yeah
