Somebody Else Instead
Mark Sixma Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rolling round in my sheets
Oh no I can’t get to sleep
Cos you’re still at the front of my mind
I’m not used to the truth
And that’s all because of you
Cos you wrapped me up in all of your lies

I don’t wanna come back

I don’t miss you like that but I’m thinking bout the things you said
Wish it was a bad dream I could wake up and leave but I’m regretting what I never said

Oh I’m learning how to live without ya
Turning pages that are not about ya
Crazy after everything we’ve been through
You’re still stuck in my head
Wish it was somebody else instead

You’re still stuck in my head
Wish it was somebody else instead

Couple months down the line
And you know I’m doing fine
But nobody looks the same in my bed
Wish I could leave us behind and then move on with my nights
But I can’t help myself that I care

I don’t wanna come back
I don’t miss you like that but I’m thinking bout the things you said
Wish it was a bad dream I could wake up and leave but I’m regretting what I never said

Oh I’m learning how to live without ya
Turning pages that are not about ya
Crazy after everything we’ve been through
You’re still stuck in my head
Wish it was somebody else instead

You’re still stuck in my head
Wish it was somebody else instead

You’re still stuck in my head
Wish it was somebody else instead

You’re still stuck in my head
Wish it was somebody else instead

Overall Meaning

In "Somebody Else Instead," Mark Sixma captures the pain and frustration that comes with trying to get over someone who has made a profound impact on your life. The first verse sets the scene as the singer rolls around in bed, unable to sleep because the person they're trying to forget is still at the front of their mind. They acknowledge that they were wrapped up in this person's lies, and they're not used to the truth. In the chorus, they express that they don't want to go back to the relationship, but they can't help but think about the things their significant other said to them. They're wishing it was somebody else they got stuck on instead of their ex.

The second verse details the singer's progression in moving on from the failed relationship. The passage of time has led to them feeling like they're doing fine, but nobody looks the same in their bed. They want to move on, but they can't help caring about what they've left behind. The chorus repeats, driving home the point that the singer can't quite shake their former flame and wishing it was somebody else instead.

Overall, "Somebody Else Instead" is a heartfelt and melancholy reflection on the difficulties of moving on from a past relationship. It perfectly captures the emotional toll that can come from trying to forget someone you once loved deeply.
