Someone You Loved
Lauren Spencer-Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal
Somebody to know
Somebody to have
Somebody to hold
It's easy to say
But it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn to
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
I need somebody to know
Somebody to heal
Somebody to have
Just to know how it feels
It's easy to say
But it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape
Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes
I fall into your arms
I'll be safe in your sound til I come back around
For now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
So now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
The song "Someone You Loved," sung by Lauren Spencer-Smith, expresses the emotions of someone going through heartbreak and missing the person they used to love. The first stanza portrays the vulnerability of the person as they confess their fear of going under and no one being there to save them. The phrase "all or nothing" hints at a deep relationship that the person cannot live without, despite it driving them crazy.
The chorus repeats the need for somebody to heal, know, have, and hold. The person acknowledges that it's easy to say, but it's never the same. They miss the way their former loved one numbed their pain and helped them escape. The day turning into nightfall reflects the person's agony as they navigate their grief without their loved one's support.
The second verse echoes the same sentiments with the person feeling that loving with their all caused them to sleep without their loved one. They need someone to know, heal, and let them know how it feels; the person misses the comfort of a deeper connection. The phrase "close my eyes when it hurts" speaks to the coping mechanism of pretending to stop feeling the pain even when it's still there. The repeated chorus signifies how the person is trying to come to terms with their new reality, but it is challenging when they got used to being someone their loved one loved.

Just to know how it feels
I want to experience love and all that comes with it, even if it's painful
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape
You allowed me to escape my problems, even if it was temporary and false
And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes
When I'm in pain, I often shut down and can't face reality
I fall into your arms
When things are too much to bear, I often seek your comforting embrace
I'll be safe in your sound til I come back around
In your presence and with your support, I feel secure and protected until I can face the world again
