Somebody Else

One more they cried One more of what? You only know the ones that I forgot The ones that lost their meaning Kindness can be cruel An empty glass That gave me claws Reluctant smiles And no applause A girl I know is present I can see her feathers She used to sing my praises One of the many faces She thought she knew Now she tells me that She loves me still Against all odds And against my will Somewhere to go Nowhere to be You couldn't make it up The kind of vacant luck That we needed Because it isn't you I'm just not myself You can save your praise For somebody else
