Wish I'd known the way
Wish I'd found the door
Wish I took the path
You showed me before
'cause I'd be better off
I'd be a better man
If I was what you want
And not what I am
(same chords as Verse 1)
Careful what you wish
I am a dream come true
Now I'm someone else
Who only wanted you
REPEAT CHORUS
I don't fear the break
I can't feel the bend
If its what you want
Then I know, I know I can
Please believe in me
Don't be leaving me
I won't be thrown away
Please believe in me
Don't be leaving me
I try to make it plain that
I can change, I can change
(same chords as Verse 1)
Wish I'd known the way
Wish I could find the door
That can take us back
To where we were before
(same chords as above)
Where we were better off
I was a better man
I was what you want
And not what I am
I don't fear the break
I can't feel the bend
If its what you want
Then I know, I know I can
'Cause I'd be better off
I'd be a better man
If it's what you want
Then I know I can
