If
Amy. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I get time to myself
And have nothing to do
You can't help feel the bitter sweet
That searches through and through
I want someone to hear me
Someone to care for
Someone to share with
Someone to stay with
Someone to lay with
If only I could find somebody
Someone who will understand
If only I could find the words
To give me what I need
If only I could find somebody
Who'll give me a helping hand
I can't let life pass me by
I'm tired of being me
I've been lonely for too long
And selfishly I've cried
I need to pull myself back up
I need to turn the tide
I want someone to hear me
Someone to need me
Someone to care for
Someone to share with
Someone to stay with
Someone to lay with
If only I could find somebody
Someone who will understand
If only I could find the words
To give me what I need
If only I could find somebody
Who'll give me a helping hand
I can't let life pass me by
I'm tired of being me
So how long will it be
Til I can let go
I need to turn the tide
I want someone to hear me
Someone to need me
Someone to care for
Someone to share with
Someone to stay with
Someone to lay with
If only I could find somebody
Someone who will understand
If only I could find the words
To give me what I need
If only I could find somebody
Who'll give me a helping hand
I can't let life pass me by
I'm tired of being me
So how long will it be
If only I could find somebody
Someone who will understand
If only I could find the words
To give me what I need
If only I could find somebody
Who'll give me a helping hand
I can't let life pass me by
I'm tired of being me
So how long will it be
Til I can let go
Til I can let go
Til I can let go
