Person I Should Have Been Lyrics - The Awakening - James Morrison

I'm gonna start again 

This world I painted black 

Just needs some colour 

I'm gonna live my life like the other 

Person I should have been 

I ain't tappin' 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 

Got no time for no regrets 

Gonna 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 

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 got left 

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 could have been 

I said the person, person I could have been 

I said the person, person I could have been 

Oh oh, the person I could have been 

I said the person, person I could have been 

Oh oh oh oh [the person I should have been] 

La la la la la la la, the person I could have been
