Someone Else
Kellin Quinn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could feel it when you let me go
See your face lost in the crowd
Stop myself from reaching out
This just seems outta control
Told myself I wouldn’t let you close
And now you’re always in my dreams
I cant live in make believe
Time will tell
Who am I say that the memory won’t fade
Trapped in hell
Could I see someone else
(Someone else)
Time will tell
Who am I say that the memory won’t fade
Trapped in hell
Could I see someone else
I made you a place in my world
You promised you would do the same with yours
But all you ever did was compromise yourself in mine
Now you’re begging me to take you back
Put me through hell and once we been through that
I lost myself and there’s no turning back
So walk away cause I’m not looking back, yeah
Time will tell
Who am I say that the memory won’t fade
Trapped in hell
Could I see someone else
(Someone else)
Time will tell
Who am I say that the memory won’t fade
Trapped in hell
Could I see someone else
Kinda feels like your punishing me
Oh, I’m tongue-tied and I wish I could breathe
No, I didn’t think it would be my story to write
Kinda feels like your punishing me
Oh, I’m tongue-tied and I wish I could breathe
No, I didn’t think it would be my story to write
Be my story to write
Time will tell
Who am I say that the memory won’t fade
Trapped in hell
Could I see someone else
(Someone else)
Time will tell
Who am I say that the memory won’t fade
Trapped in hell
Could I see someone else
Kellin Quinn's song Someone Else is a powerful ballad about heartbreak, loss and the struggle to move on from someone who has left a lasting impact. The opening lyrics, "Left a mark on my soul, I could feel it when you let me go" depict the emotional wounds inflicted on the singer by their lover's departure. The singer admits to seeing their lover's face in crowded places but resisting the urge to reach out to them. They are confused and overwhelmed by their feelings, admitting that they told themselves they wouldn't let this person get too close, but ultimately failed to keep their distance. Despite this, they realize they can no longer live in a fantasy world and must face reality.
The chorus, "Time will tell, who am I to say that the memory won't fade" shows the singer's struggle to accept the past and move on from their broken relationship. They feel trapped in a state of emotional limbo but question whether they could ever see someone else. The second verse paints a picture of a relationship that was once promising but ultimately failed. The singer made a spot for their lover in their world, but their lover never reciprocated. The lover begged for the singer to take them back, but the singer is too hurt to return to that toxic relationship. The final repetition of "Time will tell" shows the singer's acceptance that they cannot control time or the fading of memories, but they can make the choice to move away from their pain.
