I Could Have Been Someone

He fell beneath me like the Dead Sea
Heaven didn’t know his name
Heaven couldn’t write
I drank it up like it was moonshine
Dancing didn’t hide my pain
Dancing all the time
I could have been with someone else
I could have been someone
Can’t you see my glass is empty
Smoking in a moonlit bar
Drinking like a crime
Lord his love was like a razor
Cutting up my perfect mind
God I paid a price
I could have been with someone else
I could have been someone
I know your secret baby, I just gotta hear you lie some more
I could have been with someone else
I could have been someone
If it wasn’t for you
If it wasn’t for the light in you, I wouldn’t be running from your stoned and
bloodshot eyes
If it wasn’t for you
If it wasn’t for the life in you, I wouldn’t be holding on to hope that we’d
survive
If it wasn’t for you
And all they put you through
I wouldn’t be fighting for the wounded boy inside
If it wasn’t for you
If it wasn’t for the life in you, I wouldn’t be holding on to hope that we’d
survive
Love you, I could love you, love you, I could
Love you, I could love you, love you, I could
