The Struts- Could Have Been Me (Lyrics in Description)

I DO NOT OWN THIS SONG

Album: Everybody Wants

Don't wanna live as an untold story
Rather go out in a blaze of glory
I can't hear you, I don't fear you
I'll live now cause the bad die last
Dodging bullets with your broken past
I can't hear you, I don't fear you now

Wrapped in your regret
What a waste of blood and sweat
Oh oh oh

I wanna taste love and pain
Wanna feel pride and shame
I don't wanna take my time
Don't wanna waste one line
I wanna live better days
Never look back and say
Could have been me
It could have been me
Yeah

Don't wanna live as an unsung melody
I'd rather listen to the silence telling me
I can't hear you, I won't fear you
Don't wanna wake up on monday morning
The thought of work's getting my skin crawling
I can't fear you, I don't hear you now

Wrapped in your regret
What a waste of blood and sweat
Oh oh oh

I wanna taste love and pain
Wanna feel pride and shame
I don't wanna take my time
Don't wanna waste one line
I wanna live better days
Never look back and say
Could have been me
It could have been me
Yeah
Hey
I wanna taste love and pain
Wanna feel pride and shame
Don't wanna take my time
No
Don't wanna waste one line
Hey Hey
Wanna live better days
Just better
Never look back and say
Could have been me
It could have been me
It could have been me
It could have been me
I wanna taste love and pain
Wanna feel pride and shame
I don't wanna take my time
Don't wanna waste one line
I wanna live better days
Never look back and say
Could have been me
It could have been me
It could have been me
It could have been me
Yeah
Hey
I wanna taste love and pain
Wanna feel pride and shame
Don't wanna take my time
No
Don't wanna waste one line
Hey Hey
Wanna live better days
Just better
Never look back and say
Could have been me

This makes me want to start a rebellion

[demolitionlover]

the beginning of this song makes me kinda sad, because i don't wanna do nothing all my life, i wanna be something i'm proud of

[pexleptic]

this is one of those songs that make you want to do something epic btw last day of school im blasting this dont care what people think

[tbhbisous]

I’m actually really scared of singing in front of people so whenever I’m home alone I sing my heart out, this is the next on my list!

[FiddleWiddle]

had the lyrics "i wanna taste love and shame." written in my notes on my phone, forgot about it till now. Im happy i remembered

[allieburns]

This song makes me want to go and actually do what I want 💛 without worry of all the stress it could bring

[Ladymusicc]

I had written down in my memo notes "I don't wanna take my time lyrics". Which is a piece of a song I've heard, and I want myself to go and look for it. So I came across it and was like "what is this?" I looked up the lyrics and this came up.
 *I am so freakin proud of myself for reminding myself to look this song up. Best thing I've done today.*

[retribution]

It's like a mix of all the greatness of the Cure and The killers and all the other great bands like that. This song is so fucking awesome.

[goosepunch]

so this is was ten minutes of clicking through random songs gets I am not disappointed this song is everything

[FManAngryAmerican]

Heard this on the Mercedes commercial and instantly fell in love with this song.

[brendonabbott]

My summer job is as a door to door pest control salesman, in Texas. Some days it gets really hard having people slamming doors in your face, telling you to leave, rejecting you and calling the cops on you. All this while burning in the hot Texas sun. And that’s just the first week! This song helped me through those tough days. Thank you to “The Struts” for following your dreams so that I can follow mine. Great song!!!

[jpegricky]

His voice reminds me of Freddie Mercury.

[nahboyee]

This song is so good for yell-singing. I WANNA TASTE LOVE AND PAIN! WANNA FEEL PRIDE AND SHAME! DON'T WANNA TAKE MY TIME! DON'T WANNA WASTE ONE LIFE!(LINE?)
IT COULD'VE BEEN

[averagegirl]

Just discovered this song- halfway through my firsti listen through I got up and started dancing with all the light off in the middle of the night in nothing but my underwear and I've never felt so inspired.

Update: my sister came in to check on me, but I had my head phones in so I didn't hear or see her in the doorway until I started spinning. She gave me a heart attack and we both just fell to floor laughing hysterically.

Only listened to this song twice and it's already made a great memory. Thank you for this gift.

[gabrielsanchez]

I wish I lived like this... Do what you want, don't waste your time with school or work just do what you love with the people you love, you know? To bad that's not how life works. There's too many times it could have been me 😕

[larkisalive]

Imagine this being the theme song of the Percy Jackson adaptation series

[baxtabber]

Heard this on the radio today... HAD to look it up.

[Angetbaby]

I just discovered this song from a YouTube short as the line "I can't hear you, I don't fear you" really resonates with me and I really love his voice. Still listening on repeat!

[imogenjames]

This is the song I listen to when I feel like giving up on living

[punkartwantstew]

This has "living through a post apocalyptical horror film, but I'm not gonna feel angsty about it" vibes
