[Verse 1]

I've never felt so alive

I never had to run and hide

The things I want, I cannot have

The things I need are all so bad

[Pre-Chorus]

What'd you say?

[Chorus]

I could've been, I could've been

I could've been, I am

I could've been, I could've been

I could've been, I am

You could've been, you could've been

You could've been, you are

You could've been, you could've been

You could've been, you are

[Verse 2]

My best excuse is that I'm drained

From everything that keeps me sane

My sickness keeps me in control

From everything you'll never know

[Pre-Chorus]

What'd you say?

[Chorus]

I could've been, I could've been

I could've been, I am

I could've been, I could've been

I could've been, I am

You could've been, you could've been

You could've been, you are

You could've been, you could've been

You could've been, you are

[Bridge]

Does it make you happy?

Does it make you mad?

Why am I still laughing?

Look at what you had!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Does it make you feel good?

Does it make you sick

That you knew that I would

Be the one to trip?

[Chorus]

I could've been, I could've been

I could've been, I am

I could've been, I could've been

I could've been, I am

You could've been, you could've been

You could've been, you are

You could've been, you could've been

You could've been, you are

[Outro]

No control

No control

No control
