I don’t want to toss this thought to my stack of wishful thinking

I know it will only rot away

I don’t want to hear a “give up”

Though I know that’s what they’re thinking

I have to prove them wrong before they say

You could’ve been wonderful

You could’ve been great

The best was in your reach

And you don’t have to wait

Now you’re on your own

With nothing to show

You’re wonderful

When you could’ve been great

All along I wanted to please everybody

I thought that pleased myself

But peel away the attitude

That keeps me from the surface

I see it in reflections and I yell

You could’ve been wonderful

You could’vе been great

The best was in your rеach

And you don’t have to wait

Now you’re on your own

With nothing to show

You’re wonderful

When you could’ve been great

You’re not the only one

Who is disappointed in me

I often disappoint myself

Since I’m on my own

With nothing to show

I’m wonderful

Never wanna hear you say

You could’ve been wonderful

You could’ve been great

The best was in your reach

And you told it to wait

Now you’re on your own

With nothing to show

You’re wonderful

All I ever wanted to be was wonderful

All I ever wanted to be was wonderful

All I ever wanted to be was great
