I Wouldn’t Be This (DC/CM)
1.
Sometimes I wonder ‘bout the image in the mirror
Caught up in a moment - of who the hell I am
It starts a speculation - that leads me to the notion
It’s no use pretending – that I couldn’t give a damn
Pre-Chorus:
Don’t tell me not to go there
You've heard it all before
But this time I’m getting closer
Closer to the truth and that’s for sure
Chorus:
I wouldn’t be this - if I hadn’t done that
If I’d walked a different road - worn a different hat
If every little hit - became a little miss
I might have been that - but I wouldn’t be this
2.
A list of choices, a hazy map of crossroads
Paths that I’ve taken, that lead to where I stand
No time for explanations, regrets or consolations
Accept my resignation for a life I never planned
Pre-Chorus:
Don’t tell me not to go there
You've heard it all before
But this time I’m getting closer
Closer to the truth and that’s for sure
Chorus:
I wouldn’t be this - if I hadn’t done that
If I’d walked a different road - worn a different hat
If every little hit - became a little miss
I might have been that - but I wouldn’t be this
Bridge:
I’ve had my share of pain and heartache
I’ve also had my share of joy and love
Pain and joy might fade but the choices I‘ve made
Suit me fine, they fit me like a glove
Pre-Chorus:
Don’t tell me not to go there
You've heard it all before
But this time I’m getting closer
Closer to the truth and that’s for sure
Chorus/Tag:
I wouldn’t be this - if I hadn’t done that
If I’d walked a different road - worn a different hat
If every little hit - became a little miss
I might have been that - but I wouldn’t be this
But I wouldn’t be this
No, I wouldn’t be this
