Verse              Shake my head and rub my eyes

                        How I always bought the lies

                        Seems as though you’ve not moved on

                        But there’s nothing I did wrong

Chorus            I don’t think much of might-have-beens

                        I don’t buy into that chagrin

                        I can’t go back to origins … Anyway

                        I’m clearly not a heroine

                        But phantom pain will never win

                        And memory is not a sin … Anyway

Verse              Stuff my pockets full of tears

                        Haven’t cried like that in years

                        Feeling grateful for the dawn

                        Stepping forward to move on

Chorus            I don’t think much of might-have-beens

                        I don’t buy into that chagrin

                        I can’t go back to origins … Anyway

                        I’m clearly not a heroine

                        But phantom pain will never win

                        And memory is not a sin … Anyway

Bridge            I gotta give them something to smile about

                        There’s no reason for us to do without

                        So why not give them something to smile about … Anyway

Verse              No unfinished business here

                        No one holding candles near

                        I got nothing left to prove

                        No regrets left to remove

Chorus            I don’t think much of might-have-beens

                        I don’t buy into that chagrin

                        I can’t go back to origins … Anyway

                        I’m clearly not a heroine

                        But phantom pain will never win

                        And memory is not a sin … Anyway

Chorus           I don’t think much of might-have-beens

                        I don’t buy into that chagrin

                        I can’t go back to origins … Anyway

                        I’m clearly not a heroine

                        But phantom pain will never win

                        And memory is not a sin … Anyway

Outro              I gotta give them something to smile about … Anyway
