Someone
Jona & Claude Vonstroke Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

another round with someone like you
it can only hold me back
another round with someone like you
is embedded in the past
you mess around with breaking my heart
put a dagger in the back
another round with someone like you
trying to keep my heart intact

my love
keep me away from you
holding on for my life,
I made you someone to lose

my love
keep on coming back to me
when you're leaving I have nothing to lose
again

another round with someone like you
it can only hold me back
another round with someone like you
it was never built to last
you took the friends we made and my heart
put my good years in the trash
another round with someone like you
trying to keep my heart intact

my love
keep me away from you
holding on for my life,
I made you someone to lose

my love
keep on coming back to me
when you're leaving I have nothing to lose
again

my love
keep me away from you
holding on for my life,
I made you someone to lose

aah
keep me away from you

holding on for my life,
I made you someone to lose
