As i watch my life pass before me

As i watch my life pass before me i see that i could have been more,

More than just a nobody,
i could have been a somebody
Somebody everyone knew,
Someone they all looked up to,
If only life was that generous to us all.

As i watch my life pass before me i see that i could have been more,

I could have been someones loved one,
The one they adored
the one they looked out for
If only life was that generous to us all

If i told you my name you wouldn't be able to say
"Oh yeah, i know him" or
" I love him so much"

If you ever do find me it'll be in the gutter somewhere.
