Its so hard not to blame you
Its 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
Im sure there were even moments when you thought
You might someday finish what youd begun -
But that couldve been anyone

Couldve been anyone
I lost my place in the sun
Well, never mind
It couldve been anyone.

So we all make mistakes
It just figures youd make me the biggest one
I was saving it up
Now its spent and I dont know
What I spent it on
Now I find if you try hard enough
You can wear it down til its just about gone -
til you couldve been anyone

You couldve been anyone
Lost your place in the sun
Well, never mind
Couldve been anyone.

Your pattern is different
Than what it implies
The words may be true but
I realize -
It isnt description so much as disguise.
Dont worry, you can learn to live without
Youve got a lifetime of that to draw upon
And anyway -

It couldve been anyone
You lost your place in the sun
Lost your place in the sun
Oh, you lost your place in the sun
Well, never mind
It couldve been anyone
Never mind
Never mind
(I think thats enough now)
