When I think of the things that I coulda been
When I think what I coulda been
When I think what I coulda been
What a great guy ain't one of them

When I look back on my life
So much laughter so much strife
So much pain for me to lend
Wish I'd been a better friend

I've swam the depths and I don't care
That smiling faces hide despair
Kill the planet scream it's not fair
My heart beats cold in disrepair

When I think of the things that I coulda been
When I think what I coulda been
When I think what I coulda been
What a great guy ain't one of them

Wish you were just like a christ
Think it's selfless think it's nice
All them books keep you enticed
But you refuse to pay the price

You're the hero you wanna be
You are the wave surfing the sea
Pretend anything to feel free
When you die you'll crash into me

When I think of the things that I coulda been
When I think what I coulda been
When I think what I coulda been
What a great guy ain't one of them
