Almost Famous

I was almost famous
I was almost rich
I was almost a genius
Not working digging a ditch
It could have been special
It could have been sublime
Now I spend every moment
Thinking of a crime

All those things I could have been
All those decisions I almost made
All those things I never did
All those things I never said

All the times I picked heads when I should have picked tails
All the times I thought I had succeeded when it turns out I failed

Yes I was almost famous
I was almost rich
All I can say now is
Ain't life a bitch
