Someone
Franklin McKay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A bigger man to walk away
And I'm sorry
I never told you
I never thought the day would come
That you and I were really done
And I'm sorry
A little too late
Believe in me
Somebody wants you and somebody cares
Someone thinks about you everywhere
That someone
That someone is me
Somebody dreams about you being their wife
Someone holds you with their mind every night
That someone
That someone is me
After all is said and done
I hope you finally meet someone
Who gives you, all that you need
You never thought you'd hear me say
It's really over then walk away
Honey, I'm sorry but it's for real
Why didn't you
Believe in me
Somebody wants you and somebody cares
Someone thinks about you everywhere
That someone
That someone is me
Somebody dreams about you being their wife
Someone holds you with their mind every night
That someone
That someone is me
