Someone
Geneviève Racette [feat. City And Colour] Lyrics

Mister, Missus, I'm suspicious of all your little make up kisses
I am doubtful and skeptical of the insincere apologies and attempts to make things better

Bloody and bruising, no one was cruising
The situation was violent and damaging, and nobody was seeking resolution

You might've made your last mistake
You possibly committed a final error

So defeated, can you see it
Feeling completely beaten, can you perceive the extent of it

On a merry go round they make believe
In a world where they pretend and deceive

If I can't stomach all this stuff
If I can't handle all these circumstances

How could I love someone if I can't love
How would it be possible for me to love another if I can't love myself

There's nothing here to see
There is nothing of interest or value in this situation

I know that you need medication
I am aware that you require medication

You're so good for me
You have a positive impact on my well-being

But I'll never meet your expectations
However, I will never be able to fulfill your expectations

Ain't there more to life to need
Isn't there a greater purpose or desire in life

Does tomorrow have a chance
Is there hope for the future

Or will it all unfold
Or will it all unravel and collapse

Is it destiny to be desperate for something else
Is it predetermined to always yearn for something different

Losing track of time and then
Losing awareness of time and subsequently

We forget all our good deeds
We disregard or overlook all the positive actions we have done

And get punished for all the things we never did or say
And face consequences for the actions or words we failed to do or express

Just like that, there goes another day
Just like that, another day has slipped away

Another faded history book that only lives to repeat itself
Another forgotten chronicle that simply repeats its past

Pages torn and water damaged
Pages torn and ruined by water

Leaves them all withdrawn like a bunch of addicts
Leaves them all isolated and detached, like a group of addicts

The greatest mysteries spoiled with teasers
The most profound enigmas ruined by misleading hints

Get fucked all you people pleasers
Criticizing those who constantly aim to please others

If they can pretend it ain't so rough
If they can pretend that it is not as difficult as it seems

How could I love someone if I can't love
How would it be possible for me to love another if I can't love myself

I know my name has meaning
I am aware that my name holds significance

Life's too short but we're too down to notice
Life is brief, but we are too disheartened to recognize it

I try to remember to breathe
I attempt to remind myself to take a breath

We had the chance but it's too late to know this
We had an opportunity, but now it is too late to comprehend it

Ain't there more to life to need
Isn't there a greater purpose or desire in life

Does tomorrow have a chance
Is there hope for the future

Or will it all unfold
Or will it all unravel and collapse

Is it destiny to be desperate for something else
Is it predetermined to always yearn for something different

Losing track of time and then
Losing awareness of time and subsequently

We forget all our good deeds
We disregard or overlook all the positive actions we have done

And get punished for all the things we never did or say
And face consequences for the actions or words we failed to do or express

Don't look, well there goes another day
Don't pay attention, well, another day has slipped away

You made the rightest wrongs
You perfected the most justified mistakes

It is just the saddest song
It is nothing but the most sorrowful and melancholic song

All my fault with a dash of salt darling
All the blame is mine, with a touch of bitterness, my dear

Hate to see those open wounds
I despise witnessing those visible wounds

I waited for a million moons
I waited for an endless number of lunar cycles

Now I leave you day to day
Now I depart from you, one day at a time

A child never born in freedom
A child who never experienced true freedom

Never asks why they won't feed em
Never questions why they are not being nourished

Words of wisdom all discouraged
Words of wisdom are all disregarded and disheartened

Brilliant minds to never flourish
Exceptional intellects never thriving

Fight your way out but you gotta stay out
Struggle to escape, but once you are out, you must stay out

Doesn't matter, home's not there
It doesn't matter, there is no sense of belonging or home

If I never make I'll still wanna know
Even if I never succeed, I will still desire to understand

How could I love someone if I can't love
How would it be possible for me to love another if I can't love myself

How could I love someone if I can't love
How would it be possible for me to love another if I can't love myself

How could I love someone if I still can't love me
How would it be possible for me to love another if I still can't love myself
