Someone I Ain't

(アルバム： After Dark - 1980)

It wasn't what you said
It's knowing what you mean
You wanna spread your wings and fly
where the moment takes you off
Trying hard to be, someone you ain't

It wasn't how you laughed
that taught me how to cry
Convincing me your heart is
a million dreams away
Trying hard to be, someone you ain't

You came along when I was down
and found a place within me
All the love I ever had can not
replace the things you did
I'm still in love with you and
even though you're gone
I gotta try, gotta try,
gotta try, gotta try

Someday I'm gonna win
and get back to your arms
And here am I alone
with a memory of you
Trying hard to be, someone I ain't

We held it in, we gave it out
There wasn't any quarter
All the pieces fell apart
It still ain't like it ought to be
I'm still in love with you
even though you're gone
I gotta try, gotta try,
gotta try, gotta try

You came along when I was down
and found a place within me
All the love I ever had can not
replace the things you did
I'm still in love with you
even though you're gone
I gotta try, gotta try
gotta try, gotta try

We held it in, we gave it out
There wasn't any quarter
All the pieces fell apart
It still ain't like it ought to be
I'm still in love with you
even though you're gone
I gotta try, gotta try,
gotta try, gotta try
