Prepare myself for a man to fall from grace
To tumble down to a cold and heartless place
I need to be someone
I need to be someone better

Choose the bitter pill
Offer up my sacrifice until
I can be someone
I can be someone better

After all
We all must fall

No saint or savior
Nothing better than most every man I know
Could have been something
Should have been something

No shining star
No guiding light
To resist all temptation, oh
I would have been something to you
Should have been something to you
Strong, strong

I can be someone
I can be someone better

Communication with the soul is what's required
Contamination of a life that's just grown tiered
I need to be someone
I need to be someone better

No shining star
No guiding light
To resist all temptation, oh
I would have been something to you
Should have been something to you
Strong, strong

Should have been strong enough to stay strong
Big enough to realise that I could get it all so wrong

I would have been something to you
Should have been something to you
I would have been something to you
Strong, strong
