Someone Like Me

I haven’t seen you in years
Now suddenly you had to come back
And turn my life upside down
Why’d you have to go and do all that?

I’ve settled down, found myself a nice man
I’m married now, I’m sorry
All my dreams came true
They just didn’t include you

We’ve known each other since we were kids
So young and yet so in love
Together we could rule the world
People didn’t understand us

As we grew older, we became wiser
We knew we would never last
We knew things would eventually end
I knew you had to leave and break out of this town

Don’t worry, you’ll find someone like me one day
Someone who will love you unconditionally
I wish nothing but the best for you
Just forget me
Cause sometimes it lasts in love
Sometimes it hurts instead

You walk in the door
I see your face like it was yesterday
Why’d you have to remind me that you and I…
Things never ended did they

So come on in, my dear old friend
I can shake your lovely hands
But I won’t kiss you, not even on your cheeks
I don’t think I can ever go there again

Don’t worry, you’ll find someone like me one day
Someone who will love you unconditionally
I wish nothing but the best for you
Just forget me
Cause sometimes it lasts in love
Sometimes it hurts instead

Don’t get me wrong, I have no regrets
But I just don’t want to be reminded either
That you and I could have worked
Had you been listening to me back then
But it’s okay, I moved on
Clearly you haven’t
But I can’t seem to help myself
Why did you have to come back…

 

Lonesome Girl

It was a cold October night
It was late and I fell asleep
While you fell in love with me
I was just a lonesome girl
Fighting hard against the cruel world
Who met this lonely boy
Who helped her avoid
All the hardships of her daily life
He tried his best
But I didn’t know, I didn’t care
I just needed a shoulder to cry on
Guess I shouldn’t have done that
Now we both cannot go back
Back to where we were
Back to the good old days
When everything was so simple
When everything was still okay
Now you say you love me
But I know you don’t
You love the idea of me
Damsel in distress
Someone to save
Someone to hold on to
But I don’t need to be saved
At least not by you anyway

 

Life Goes On

I saw you the other day dressed up in black
Cause that’s when you look your best
Walking around with headphones on
Listening to your favourite songs
You looked as though you were looking for someone
Looking for me perhaps
But alas
You weren’t looking for me
And you weren’t even you
You turned out to be someone else
I guess life does go on
Except for me
