James Morrison - Person I Should Have Been Lyrics

I'm gonna start again
This world I painted black just needs some color
And I'm gonna live my life like the other
Person I should have been

I ain't tapping out, no, no, no, no
To this dark and twisted dream that's kept me living
I pray to my soul to keep this fire burning
And when it does I'm gonna let it shine

I'll make the best of this life I've got left
Ain't got no time for no regrets
Show you just what I can be
The person I should have been

And it might take time, take time
'Cause this life has taken it right out of me
Yeah, yeah

I wanna change my perspective of reality
Be a much better version of me
The person I should have been

I make the best of this life I've got left
I put my sincerity to the test
Wake up my senses finally
The water washes me clean

What shouldn't have been has all been done
If I don't get a grip then the world has won
Making me think that I'll never be
The person I should have been

Who am I now?
A lonely man that's fallen down
No, I can't change the past
That time has all burned out
But I know somewhere inside of me
Is the person that I could have been

Make the best of this life I've got left
Ain't got no time for no regrets
Gonna show you just what I can be
The person I should have been

What shouldn't have been has all been done
If I don't get a grip then the world has won
Make me think that I'll never be
The person I should have been

I said the person, person I could have been
Said the person, person I could have been
Oh, the person I could have been
I said the person, person I should have been

Whoa, the person I should've been
La la la la la la la, the person I could have been
