Someone Else
SayWeCanFly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Light your cigarette and tell me
How I make the world okay
Then let's overdose on whiskey
And just fuck the pain away
For a moment lying next to you
Passed out in that hotel
I thought I could fix your broken pieces
But I'm in love with someone else
I'm in love with someone else
But I don't know, no I don't know who the hell

I would say your name
But I must have forgot it
Be with you everyday
If I didn't have to be honest
But let's be honest
I'm honestly not gonna be honest
I know you've got comprehension
But my life is beyond it
Just 'cause I kissed you once
That doesn't mean I love you
But it also doesn't mean
That I'm gonna forget about you
But let's forget it, I get it, you regret it
I wish you
Could understand for a minute
I know we've both got issues

I liked you better with the lights off
Because I couldn't see the end

So light your cigarette and tell me
How I make the world okay
Then let's overdose on whiskey
And just fuck the pain away
For a moment lying next to you
Passed out in that hotel
I thought I could fix your broken pieces

But I'm in love with someone else, oh yeah
But I don't know, no I don't know who the hell

You've got a piece of me
You can keep it forever
Can't give you everything
'Cause I barely hold it together
I barely, I barely hold it together
So either take what I give
Or give yourself to someone better, yeah
Just 'cause I kiss you once
That doesn't mean I hate you
But it also doesn't mean
That I'm obligated to make you
Feel validated
I'm waiting for you to change my nature
Until you do, I'm not giving up anymore of my paper

I liked you better with the lights off
Because I couldn't see the end

So light your cigarette and tell me
How I make the world okay
Then let's overdose on whiskey
And just fuck the pain away
For a moment lying next to you
Passed out in that hotel
I thought I could fix your broken pieces...

Light your cigarette and tell me
How I make the world okay
Then let's overdose...

So light your cigarette and tell me
How I make the world okay
Then let's overdose on whiskey
And just fuck the pain away
For a moment lying next to you
Passed out in that hotel
I thought I could fix your broken pieces

But I'm in love with someone else
But I'm in love with someone else
I'm in love with someone else
I'm in love with someone else
But I'm in love with someone else





But I don't know...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song Someone Else by SayWeCanFly are about the complicated emotions and relationships that arise when someone is in love with someone but also has feelings for someone else. The singer of the song is torn between the person he is with, who he cares for deeply but is not in love with, and someone else who he is in love with but cannot be with for various reasons. The lyric, "I'm in love with someone else but I don't know who the hell," expresses the confusion and uncertainty that comes with having conflicting feelings.


The singer tries to find solace in the physical connection he has with the person he is with, using whiskey and sex as a way to temporarily forget about the pain and confusion he feels. However, he ultimately realizes that he cannot fix the other person's broken pieces or his own conflicted heart. The lyric, "For a moment lying next to you passed out in that hotel, I thought I could fix your broken pieces," shows how the singer wants to help the person he is with but ultimately realizes that he cannot.
