it's 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
I'm sure there were even moments when you
thought
You might someday finish what you'd begun -
but that could've been anyone
        could've been anyone
        I lost my place in the sun
        well, never mind
        it could've been anyone.
So we all make mistakes
it just figures you'd make me the biggest one
I was saving it up
now it's spent and I don't know
what I spent it on
now I find if you try hard enough
you can wear it down 'til it's just about gone -
'til you could've been anyone
        you could've been anyone
        lost your place in the sun
        well, never mind
        could've been anyone.
Your pattern is different
than what it implies
the words may be true but
I realize -
it isn't description so much as disguise.
Don't worry, you can learn to live without
you've got a lifetime of that to draw upon
and anyway -
        it could've 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 could've been anyone
        never mind
        never mind
        (I think that's enough now
