Back in high school, i learned how to pretend
Pretend to be cool, be everybody's friend
But i never really cared too much about the friends i called as such
I wish i was a different person then
I wish i could do it all over again
I would have laughed and cried
Not so concerned with how i was looking
I would have danced, defying what was normal then
I wish i could do it all over again
Finished college, as fast as i began
Four years pa**ed and i'm pretty glad with how they went
But as i think of all the things undone with my friends - I didn't care enough
I wish i was a different person then
I wish i could do it all over again
I would have laughed and cried
Not so concerned with how i was looking
Holding their hands in mine, i would have shared burdens with them
I wish i could do it all over again
I should love my woman, putting her first,
Love with no condition, love without reserve
But i hardly ever love at all, my heart is hard and cold and small
I don't ever want to have to make amends
I don't want to have to wish this over again
I want to laugh and cry
Not so concerned with how i am looking
Holding her hand in mine, by her side to stand
I only want to be a better man, don't want to have to wish this over again
