Alexander played this song in a spontaneous Instagram livestream on March 18, 2021, before saying that the song “probably won’t come out for a year.”
[Verse 1]
I used to be nobody's somebody
Wander the streets, looking for company
That I could keep so I didn't sleep alone
Then I met you, took me to places that I never knew
You had a face that could light up a room
But darkness lives through the soul
[Pre-Chorus]
You used to stay at my place, now you just stay on my mind
We had a good run, baby, but you just can't outrun time
And I know it's for the best, but still it hurts
[Chorus]
I used to be nobody's somebody
'Til you put your hands around my body
I really thought I was meant to be yours
Now all that's left of you on me
Is that Tommy yellow t-shirt, I'm pretty sure that you got me
Now I don't know maybe it's even worse
Being somebody's nobody
[Verse 2]
I still haven't got shades for that window
And your makeup stains, still haunt my pillow
Some things never change
And some things, well, they change you, ooh (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, you used to stay at my place, now you just stay on my mind
We had a good run, baby, but you just can't outrun time
And I know it's for the best, but still it hurts (Yeah)
[Chorus]
I used to be nobody's somebody
'Til you put your hands around my body
I really thought I was meant to be yours
Now all that's left of you on me
Is that Tommy yellow t-shirt, I'm pretty sure that you got me
Now I don't know maybe it's even worse
Being somebody's nobody
[Bridge]
I don't wanna start with, start with somebody new
She could be perfect but the problem is she'll never be you
Don't wanna start with, start with
Somebody new, no, I don't wanna do it
I don't wanna start with, start with somebody new
She could be perfect but the problem is she'll never be you
Don't wanna start with, start with
Somebody new, no, I don't wanna do it
[Outro]
It's for the best but still it really fucking hurts
Yeah, I know it's for the best but still it really fucking hurts
And I know it's for the best but still it really fucking hurts
Yeah, I know it's for the best but still it really fucking hurts
