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

Ah, you couldn't make it up

The kind of vacant luck

That we needed, yeah

Because it isn't you

I'm just not myself

You can save your praise

For somebody else

For somebody else
