Someone Else

Every time you get away from me, I wish you'd stay with me
But when you're here I disappear, waiting till you leave
Tell me if you feel the same, do I drive you insane?
You want me gone but later on you're calling out my name

You are too perfect the way that you love me is a way I do not deserve
Too much of anything even something you need
Still wears you down till it hurts

So even though it hurts like hell, I'm just a little overwhelmed
So I'm gonna let you shine for someone else
Stand by someone else
Go try someone else

So even though I want no love better than the one that I'm giving up
I cannot keep it all to myself
Stand by someone else
Go try someone else

And I know that I'll regret it soon, the way I'm losing you
To the arms of someone that can better handle you
Kinda drove me crazy how, when I wrote you down
You'd look good on paper but I couldn't keep you round

You are a handful, boy my only downfall was that I just couldn't keep up
Candy that's too sweet will only rot your teeth
At what point have you had enough?

So even though it hurts like hell, I'm just a little overwhelmed
So I'm gonna let you shine for someone else
Stand by someone else
Go try someone else

So even though I want no love better than the one that I'm giving up
I cannot keep it all to myself
Stand by someone else
Go try someone else

Go smother someone (somebody, somebody, somebody, please)
Other than me
I just couldn't (somebody, somebody, somebody, please)
Be all that you need
Smother someone (somebody, somebody, somebody, please)
Other than me
I just couldn't, couldn't be all that you need

So even though it hurts like hell, I'm just a little overwhelmed
So I'm gonna let you shine for someone else
Stand by someone else
Go try someone else

So even though I want no love better than the one that I'm giving up
I cannot keep it all to myself
Stand by someone else
Go try someone else
