Watched all of my dreams all come true for someone else
Took a backseat took a backhand
But at least I know myself
Every story has an ending
Every chapter has a close
It might not be the one I want
But that's the way it goes
I should have been
I should have been
I should have been better than I am
It's been so many years since you haven't been around
If you could see me now
Well I hope I made you proud
I gave up everything I had
But never gave up hope
I'll take this fucking pain in me and turn into gold
I should have been
I should have been
I should have been better than I am.
