“Somebody Else” is a man’s anguished reflection on how he had driven away someone he loved with his reckless behavior in younger days.
[Verse 1]
I walked these streets till I was 17
I didn't care about anything
Stealing cans, rolling cigarettes
At 2 AM just waiting for that text
[Pre-Chorus]
Out of my mind, in over my head
Yeah, those were the days I'll never forget
[Chorus]
She's in love with somebody else, somebody else
And I'm fading out
She's in love with somebody else
Someone who won't let her down
[Verse 2]
We were nervous but we were free
Flowers bursting through the concrete
Thought I made all of the right moves
But tonight I can see the truth
[Chorus]
She's in love with somebody else, somebody else
And I'm fading out
So I lie and I tell myself that I
I was enough, I was enough
[Refrain]
Heard from a friend of a friend
She's been dancing on the other side of town
She's in love with somebody else
Someone who won't let her down
[Bridge]
Somebody else, somebody else
Somebody else, somebody else
Somebody else, somebody else
Somebody else, somebody else
Out of my mind, in over my head
I didn't know that I loved you yet
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Refrain]
Heard from a friend of a friend
She's been dancing on the other side of town
She's in love with somebody else
Somebody else, and I'm fading out
[Chorus]
She's in love with somebody else
Someone who won't, someone who won't let her down
Somebody else, somebody else
Somebody else, somebody else
Somebody else, somebody else
Somebody else
[Outro]
She's in love with somebody else
Someone who won't let her down
