the number of  times
i regret being myself
are outnumbered by
the times i regret being somebody else
the times i regret trying to be better
the times i regret trying to be different
the boys i regret
the cigarettes i've smoked with people i hate
the times i fell just short of getting laid
(cos girls need that too, you know)
the times i've been walked in on
the times i put my shirt on backwards
but i still pretend
and every night after every beer
i am somebody new
somebody different
somebody better
