Somebody Else
Calvin Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you find mistakes I made?
The times I tried, did you realize?
To let you go from me
The amount of thing we've had
A thousand times
That you don't understand my, understand me
What the hell am I doin' here?
Why did I take more than I can bear?
Don't do fear, never holdin' on
'Cause you're still aren't worth it
What the hell are we doin' here?
What the hell are you waitin' for?
Where'd you call? Are you with my friends?
No distant love
Oh, hey, I found, I found somebody, love, someone else
Why you have to be in love with somebody else? Oh
Oh, hey, I found, I found somebody, love, someone else
Why you have to be in love with somebody else? How?
Love like rock, paper, scissors, willin' to cut you off
And if I ain't fall in love with you, I wouldn't fuck you soft (yeah, yeah)
Me and her fightin' through the days, it throw my focus off (ayy, yeah)
The media treat me like I ain't The Voice, and I'm below the blogs
Life too dangerous at twenty-two, I can't ignore her calls
I called her a "Bitch" the other day, she say she no one's dog (I'm sorry)
She say she a stay-at-home mom, that's the perfect job
And I ain't gon' lie to the world, she workin' hard (oh yeah)
Like how you fall in love with somebody else? (How you fall in love?)
And if I even like a picture, I be on somebody's couch (yeah)
Somebody's bed, somebody's house (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Instead of fixin' her head, she was kickin' me out (yeah, yeah)
Oh, but I'm different (different)
How you mad I'm from the trenches? (Oh, oh)
And I don't care about bitches (oh, oh)
Allah, my witness (oh, oh)
Oh, hey, I found, I found somebody, love, someone else
Why you have to be in love with somebody else? Oh
Oh, hey, I found, I found somebody, love, someone else
Why you have to be in love with somebody else? How?
Can somebody please tell me
How you fall in love with somebody else?
Somebody else, somebody else, somebody else
Ohh, ohh
In the song "Somebody Else," the three artists express their thoughts and feelings about a past relationship. They question why they were ever in the relationship and why they continued to hold on for so long. The lyrics are filled with regret and self-doubt, as they wonder if they could have done anything differently. The first verse highlights a sense of frustration, as they question if their ex ever noticed their efforts to make things work. They also express their confusion about why they stayed in the relationship when it was clearly not worth it.
The chorus is where the title of the song is derived from, and it is a plea for answers - “Why you have to be in love with somebody else?” The artists express how they have found someone else, strange as it may be, and ask their ex if they ever wonder why it didn't work out. They also seem to be asking themselves the same question- why did they fall out of love?
The second verse is sung by Lil Durk, and it delves into his relationship with a woman he seems to have fallen out of love with. He asks the question many people ask when they break up- "how did we fall out of love?" He talks about how he finds himself distracted by his music and media attention, and it interferes with his relationship. The lyrics overall express a sense of confusion and self-doubt. The artists are trying to find answers to why the relationship failed.
