Someone Who Cares
♬ Three Days Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every street in this city
Is the same to me
Everyone's got a place to be
But there's no room for me

Am I to blame?
When the guilt and the shame hang over me
Like a dark cloud,
That chases you down in the pouring rain.

It's so hard to find someone
Who cares about you,
But it's easy enough to find someone
Who looks down on you

Why is it so hard to find someone
Who cares about you?
When it's easy enough to find someone
Who looks down on you

It's not what it seems
When you're not on the scene
There's a chill in the air
But there's people like me
That nobody sees so nobody cares

Why is it so hard to find someone
Who cares about you?
When it's easy enough to find someone
Who looks down on you

Why is it so hard to find someone
Who can keep it together
When you've come undone?
Why is it so hard to find someone
Who cares about you?

I swear this time it won't turn out
The same 'cause now I've got myself to blame
And you'll know where we end up
On the streets that is easy enough
To find someone who looks down on you

Why is it so hard to find someone
Who cares about you?
When it's easy enough to find someone
Who looks down on you

Why is it so hard to find someone
Who can keep it together
When you've come undone?




Why is it so hard to find someone
Who cares about you?

Overall Meaning

The song "Someone Who Cares" by Three Days Grace is about feeling alone and struggling to find someone to care for you. The singer describes how every street in the city is the same to them and how everyone seems to have a place to be, except for them. They feel invisible and overlooked, as if they're not even there. They wonder if they're to blame for feeling guilty and shameful about their situation.


The pre-chorus describes how difficult it is to find someone who cares about you, while it's easy to find someone who looks down on you. The singer wonders why it's so hard to find someone who can keep it together when you've come undone. As the song progresses, the singer takes ownership of their situation and admits that they have themselves to blame this time. They still struggle to find someone who cares about them, but they're determined not to end up on the streets.


The song portrays a common feeling of loneliness and isolation that many people experience, especially in big cities. It shows the difficulty of finding people who truly care about you and how easy it is to become invisible in a society where everyone seems to be rushing somewhere. The song encourages listeners to keep searching for someone who cares and emphasizes the importance of self-reliance and taking responsibility for one's situation.

My father never talked a lot
He just took a walk around the block
'Til all his anger took a hold of him
And then he'd hit
My mother never cried a lot
She took the punches, but she never fought
'Til she said, "I'm leaving, and I'll take the kids"
So she did
I say they're just the ones who gave me life
But I truly am my parents' child
Scattered 'cross my family line
I'm so good at telling lies
That came from my mother's side
Told a million to survive
Scattered 'cross my family line
God, I have my father's eyes
But my sister's when I cry
I can run, but I can't hide
From my family line
It's hard to put it into words
How the holidays will always hurt
I watch the fathers with their little girls
And wonder what I did to deserve this
How could you hurt a little kid?
I can't forget, I can't forgive you
'Cause now I'm scared that everyone I love will leave me
Scattered 'cross my family line
I'm so good at telling lies
That came from my mother's side
Told a million to survive
Scattered 'cross my family line
God, I have my father's eyes
But my sister's when I cry
I can run, but I can't hide
From my family line
From my family line
Oh, all that I did to try to undo it
All of my pain and all your excuses
I was a kid but I wasn't clueless
(Someone who loves you wouldn't do this)
All of my past, I tried to erase it
But now I see, would I even change it?
Might share a face and share a last name, but
(We are not the same)
Scattered 'cross my family line
I'm so good at telling lies
That came from my mother's side
Told a million to survive
Scattered across my family line
God, I have my father's eyes
But my sister's when I cry
I can run, but I can't hide
From my family line
From my family line

“It’s hard to put into words how the holidays will always hurt I watch the fathers with their little girls and wonder what I did to deserve this.”

“All of my pain and all of your excuses I was a kid, but I wasn’t clueless.”


These lines alone brings out indescribable feelings. I feel really pressured by my mom to reconcile with my birth dad that separated with my mom when I was barely 9 I don’t remember him ever being kind because he was sick and almost died when I was a child and then he got physically violent….

He never once tried to re enter my life in the 10+ years my mom and I moved 30 minutes away. Not even another state. I sent him letters, ten years worth of letters he apparently never received. He never once acknowledged I was hurt by him or he wasn’t a good father or said “I love you” he only shows up once a year to give me and my older brothers 20$ on our birthdays and leaves without saying goodbye.

I never get a hug from him or got told he was proud of me. My mom has been remarried to a man for 8 years and I still don’t know how to feel about him. I know my old man is old but I don’t want to make up with him when it was his obligation as a parent to make it up to me in the first place. I’m allowed to leave things as they are.
