No One Else
Allison Iraheta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got myself to blame for
My difficult days and my difficult ways
But you, you know how to let things slide
I'm perfect in your eyes
You don't see all the damage in me
There's simply no one else in the world I could ever find
You, you got me down
You kept coming round
There's simply no one else I could lean on a thousand times
Still be there again, and again and never lose his mind
You know me so well that you can't even tell
That you're like no one else
That you're like no one else
No, nothing's ever what it seems
But you always seem to be
Who you are even when it gets hard
And you let me kick you to the floor
And you still come back for more
You're too good what did I do to deserve you?
There's simply no one else in the world I could ever find
Likes me when I'm low and still tolerates me when I'm high
You, you got me down
You kept coming round
There's simply no one else I could lean on a thousand times
Still be there again, and again and never lose his mind
You know me so well that you can't even tell
That you're like no one else
That you're like no one else
I told you I'd never love you
You said it would be okay
You had enough love for us anyway
I told you I'd never need you
But you only proved me wrong again
I pray to God that never ends
There's simply no one else in the world I could ever find
Likes me when I'm low and still tolerates me when I'm high
You, you got me down
You kept coming round
There's simply no one else I could lean on a thousand times
Still be there again, and again and again, and never lose his mind
You know me so well that you can't even tell
That you're like no one else
That you're like no one else
You know me so well
You can't even tell
That you're like no on else
That you're like no on else
Allison Iraheta's song "No One Else" seems to be about having someone in your life who loves and accepts you for who you are, flaws and all. The singer recognizes that she can sometimes be difficult, but this person still loves her unconditionally. She mentions that this person "knows how to let things slide" which could mean that they are forgiving or overlook things that others might not. The singer also recognizes that this person has been there for her through the good and the bad times. Even when she is at her lowest, they still stick around and support her.
The chorus repeats that there is "simply no one else in the world" that she could ever find who likes her when she's low and tolerates her when she's high. This line could be interpreted as saying that this person is one of a kind and irreplaceable. She acknowledges that they are too good for her and wonders what she did to deserve them. At the end of the second verse, she reveals that she initially told this person that she would never love or need them, but they proved her wrong. The final lines of the song reiterate that this person is unique and like no one else in the world.
Overall, "No One Else" is a song about gratitude for having someone special in your life who sees you for who you are and loves you anyway. It also highlights the idea that sometimes we don't know what we need until we have it, as the singer initially rejected this person's love and support but eventually came to appreciate it.
