Someone Who Cares
♫ Three Days Grace Lyrics

Every street in this city
The singer feels that every part of the city is the same and has no special meaning to them.

Is the same to me
The singer has no genuine attachment to any location or environment in this city.

Everyone's got a place to be
People seem to have purpose and direction in this city.

But there's no room for me
The artist feels excluded and uninvolved in the city's going-ons.

Am I to blame?
The artist questions if they are responsible for feeling out of place in the city.

When the guilt and the shame hang over me
The singer is weighed down by self-blame and self-doubt.

Like a dark cloud,
These negative emotions feel like an overwhelming presence that can't be shook off.

That chases you down in the pouring rain.
The feeling of disconnection and exclusion is inescapable like a storm that follows you around.

It's so hard to find someone
The act of seeking genuine companionship is a difficult task.

Who cares about you,
The artist desires someone who truly cares about their well-being and is invested in them.

But it's easy enough to find someone
On the contrary, finding someone who is dismissive or judgmental is a simple task.

Who looks down on you
The artist has encountered many people who are not compassionate or understanding.

It's not what it seems
The outward appearances of the city-life and social interactions are deceiving for the singer.

When you're not on the scene
When the singer is not present in social situations they are forgotten and invisible to others.

There's a chill in the air
The overall atmosphere is uninviting and unwelcoming to the singer.

But there's people like me
There are others who share the artist's struggles and feelings of disconnection.

That nobody sees so nobody cares
These people, like the artist, are forgotten or dismissed by the rest of society leading to a lack of concern or care for them.

Why is it so hard to find someone
A repeated query into the difficulty in finding sincere and compassionate individuals in the city.

Who can keep it together
The singer wants an individual who is functional and stable enough to support them through their rough times.

When you've come undone?
The artist feels like they are falling apart, and they need someone who can help put them back together.

I swear this time it won't turn out
The artist is hopeful that their search for genuine companionship will be successful this time around.

The same 'cause now I've got myself to blame
The artist is taking responsibility for their past inability to connect with others.

And you'll know where we end up
The singer believes that he and his new companion's relationship will determine where they will end up, whether it be positive or negative.

On the streets that is easy enough
The area of societal disconnection and judgment is where they will end up if they cannot find a supportive companion.

To find someone who looks down on you
It is far too easy to encounter people who are unkind, unsupportive, and unhelpful in the process of seeking support and companionship.
