[Verse 1]
What have I now
To show for what I have done?
What have I got
But regrets; doesn't everyone?
[Pre-Chorus]
I waited so long now, it might be too late
A thousand tomorrows have turned into dreams
That never came
[Verse 2]
What have I now
To prove I'm a worthy man?
Look what I've done
I have done the best I can
And the best I can isn't the best I can
[Chorus]
I could've been, I could've been
I could've been a contender
Instead of that, instead of this
In spite of me, I'm the pretender
[Pre-Chorus]
I waited so long now, it might be too late
A thousand dreams have turned into dreams
That never came
[Verse 1]
What have I now
To show for what I have done?
What have I got
But regrets; doesn't everyone?
[Chorus]
I could've been, I could've been
I could've been a contender
Instead of that, instead of this
In spite of me, I'm the pretender
[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Oh, oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
