SOMEBODY ELSE:
The air grew silent, and they both looked away
Not being able to remember, how things got this way
His emotions seem gone, as she begins to cry
And he walks away, but he doesn't know why
He doesn't feel, like he did before
When all he wanted her to do, was ask for more
And he stares in the mirror, while his shadow closes in
And fears that somebody else, will get her back again
After tonight
When you hear the sound, of lover's feet
As they embrace one another, cheek to cheek
As the wind blows cold, and the moonlight dims
The world moves a little slower,
As she reaches out for him
Her eyes are closed, and the bed is bare
And she can't find him, anywhere
And to her, it just doesn't seem fair
That she's by herself, And that he's not there
Anymore
It's not that it's dead, or that it's half alive
It's not the way it makes you feel, when you cry inside
It's not that her smile, has left your mind
As you cross the street, looking for something to find
To be optimistic, to be doomed
To hide your soul, in another room
To pace the floor, in the dead of night
To have no perception, of wrong or right
To be you, because you have to be,
Alone until, you can be
Somebody else
Love it!
