I used to live on coffee and nicotine   Used to think that I knew everything   Used to put things off ‘til 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
