I used to live on coffee and nicotine Used to think that I knew everything Used to put things off âtil never Acting like I'm o' so clever Collected friends that couldn't be trusted Searched for love that never lasted Used to take this life for granted Judged myself not up to standard CHORUS But I can choose to be The me I wanna be When I finally learn I'm shaping my universe But I can choose to be The me I wanna be When I finally learn I'm shaping my universe Used to think TV was the whole world Used to need to feel like a cover girl All the while a junk food junkie Caught up in how people saw me Thought I was the centre of gravity Tryin' to pin the blame on somebody Money was the holy grail Always fearing I would fail CHORUS But I can choose to be The me I wanna be When I finally learn I'm shaping my universe But I can choose to be The me I wanna be When I finally learn I'm shaping my universe My attitudes build the world I live in Controlling what I take and what I'm given What if changing, changing my life Is as simple as changing my mind Fear would always leave me paralysed Always tried to believe my own lies Never would forgive or forget Never thought my soul important CHORUS But I can choose to be The me I wanna be When I finally learn I'm shaping my universe But I can choose to be The me I wanna be When I finally learn I'm shaping my universe
