Think of all the things I could be
If I wasn't me
If I wasn't
If only
I wasn't me
Think of all the things you could do
If you weren't you
If I wasn't
If only
If you weren't you
I would start the day before three
If I wasn't me
If I wasn't
If only
I wasn't me
I'd turn off the TV
Think of all the books that I'd read
Thoroughly, at speed
If I wasn't
If only
I wasn't me
The life I would lead
I'd plant a few seeds
Have a beautiful garden
I'd always say 'please'
I wouldn't say 'what', I'd say 'pardon'
I'd send money and clothes I don't need overseas to the starving
And I'd break every bone in body to assure you're laughing
Are you laughing?
Think of all the things that I'd make
If I weren't a fake
If I wasn't
If only
I weren't a fake
Think of all the hands that I'd shake
The friendships I'd make
If I wasn't
If only
I weren't a fake
Think of all the things I could be
Content and happy
If I wasn't
If only
I wasn't me
If I could be free
Think of all the places I'd see
The faces I'd meet
If I wasn't
If only
I wasn't me
The life I would lead
I'd always succeed
Have my own big apartment
And I wouldn't need improvement in any department
I'd smoke less weed, indeed, I'd regret ever starting
And I'd break every bone in my body to assure you're laughing
Are you laughing?
Think of all things that I'd miss
The taste of your kiss
If I wasn't
If I gave up all of this
Think of everything I couldn't do
If you weren't you
If I wasn't who you had wanted to choose
