Somebody To Love
The Deadbeat Cousins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

This drug has taken over me
It's everything I want it's all I need
Yeah I need someone I can trust
Somebody to love
Cuz every time I think I'm close it's not enough

I fell in love and it tortured me
She'd come to life every time I'd bleed
Yeah she needed love but she wasn't getting it from me
I stuck around just long enough for her to leave
And what I found is all I want is to be free

There came a point where I had to decide
To settle down or go along with this ride
Well I gave in once and then another half a dozen times




I came undone right in front of your eyes
What I'd become didn't happen slow it happened overnight
