Aimee Mann - Could've Been Anyone

It’s so hard not to blame you


It’s hard not to put all the blame on you


’cause you knew from the start


There was one little part you would not let through


I’m sure there were even moments when you thought


You might someday finish what you’d begun -


But that could’ve been anyone





Could’ve been anyone


I lost my place in the sun


Wellnever mind


It could’ve been anyone.





So we all make mistakes


It just figures you’d make me the biggest one


I was saving it up


Now it’s spent and I don’t know


What I spent it on


Now I find if you try hard enough


You can wear it down ’til it’s just about gone -


’til you could’ve been anyone





You could’ve been anyone


Lost your place in the sun


Wellnever mind


Could’ve been anyone.





Your pattern is different


Than what it implies


The words may be true but


I realize -


It isn’t description so much as disguise.


Don’t worryyou can learn to live without


You’ve got a lifetime of that to draw upon


And anyway -





It could’ve been anyone


You lost your place in the sun


Lost your place in the sun


Ohyou lost your place in the sun


Wellnever mind


It could’ve been anyone


Never mind


Never mind


(I think that’s enough now)
