Someone Else
Savoy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't be mine
And someone else's too
Someday you'll find
I've been a friend to you

I don't believe that life's worth living
I gave you all there was worth giving
You never cared how I fared or what I do

I called you mine, but I was not to blame
For all the time you played up to hand and game
Second-hand love I can't see
It's good for some, but not for me
You can't be mine and someone else's too

Oh, I called you mine, but I was not to blame
For all the time you played up to hand and game
Second-hand love I can't see
It's good for some, but not for me
Oh, you can't be mine and someone else's too

No, you can't be mine and someone else's too

Overall Meaning

The song "Someone Else" by Savoy is a track that explores the complexity of relationships and heartbreak. The lyrics describe a situation where the singer is enduring the pain of knowing the person they love is seeing someone else, and they cannot seem to find a way to have them all to themselves. The lines "You can't be mine and someone else's too/Someday you'll find I've been a friend to you" convey the message that the singer cannot tolerate sharing their lover with anyone else, but at the same time, they will still be there for them as a friend if needed, even if it hurts them.

The second verse describes how futile the relationship feels to the singer, believing that life is not worth living if they cannot have the person they deeply love entirely. The singer feels like they have given everything they have to the relationship and is frustrated that their lover does not care as much. The lines "You never cared how I fared or what I do/ I called you mine, but I was not to blame" show how the singer felt like they were only one invested in the relationship, and their efforts were not reciprocated.

In summary, the song "Someone Else" by Savoy expresses the anguish of being in love with someone you cannot have entirely and shares the reality of love and relationships. Despite the heartbreak, the song also acknowledges that sometimes being friends is the only option left to move on and heal.

Line by Line Meaning

You can't be mine
I can't exclusively have your love and attention

And someone else's too
While sharing your love and attention with someone else

Someday you'll find
At some point in the future, you will realize

I've been a friend to you
I have been a supportive friend to you

I don't believe that life's worth living
I don't think life is worth living without you

I gave you all there was worth giving
I gave you everything I possibly could

You never cared how I fared or what I do
You never showed concern for my well-being or activities

I called you mine, but I was not to blame
I referred to you as my partner, but it was not my fault

For all the time you played up to hand and game
For all the times you played games with my emotions

Second-hand love I can't see
I cannot accept love that is shared with someone else

It's good for some, but not for me
Sharing love may work for some, but not for me
