Someone Else’s Song

The Verge - Someone Else's Song

The sheet music on the artwork of “Someone Else’s Song” show the chords and piano melody of the song in itself. However, our real chord sheets didn’t look that neat. “Someone Else’s Song” is not only dealing with a broken relationship – It is a song about songwriting itself. Who knows how many songwriters have written songs about their beloved? This one is fiction.

It’s slipping through fingers like water
the love I fed and all things we had
Life couldn’t have been so much harder
Distant thoughts running through my head

I shouldn’t have given up myself
I shouldn’t have been somebody else
I need your voice to be on my own again

I regret that I’ve been absent-minded
How could I ever be so fucking blinded?
You’re singing someone else’s song
now that you’re gone

From far beyond whispering voices
seasons break but things won’t change
As I try to undo my own choices
my broken heart tries to rearrange

I shouldn’t have given up myself
I shouldn’t have been somebody else
I need your voice to be on my own again

I regret that I’ve been absent-minded
How could I ever be so fucking blinded?
You’re singing someone else’s song
now that you’re gone

I shouldn’t have given up myself
I shouldn’t have been somebody else
I need your voice to be on my own again

I regret that I’ve been absent-minded
How could I ever be so fucking blinded?
You’re singing someone else’s song
now that you’re gone

So fucking blinded
You’re gone, you’re gone
You’re gone, you’re gone

So fucking blinded
You’re gone, you’re gone
Now that you’re gone
