Looking for Someone Else
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I built my hopes too high,
They towered into the sky.
I found out much too late
What you just couldn't relate.

Already I'd let go
Of my strict self-control
There's nobody to blame
I came too close to your flame.

Looking for someone else,
I'm just looking for someone else.
Looking for someone else,
Now I'm looking for someone else.

Like a moth who sees what it needs
It doesn't stop and think...

I walk alone in pain
My heart has permanent stains.
Tainted by love I knew
Knew in my heart to be true.

Now when I rise from bed
I feel a horrible dread.
Day after day I hope
My fears stay back from the rope.

As I'm looking for someone else,
I'm just looking for someone else.
Looking for someone else,
Now I'm looking for someone else.

Like a hundred foot tidal wave
Feelings wash me away...

There's a line at your door,
You'll never ever need more.
So many flock to you,
But I have nobody new.

Lonesome and out of breath,
I walk a treadmill until my death.
There's no one else, you see,
There's no one else who'd need me.

Still, I'm looking for someone else,
I'm just looking for someone else.
Looking for someone else,
Now I'm looking for someone else.

Just a lonely man on the street
Looking for someone sweet.

Why can't you rescue me
From this cold, frightening sea?
Why won't you leave the rest
And say you like me the best?

Until you change your mind,
I'll try to stay close behind.
I'll search for someone else
But I know there's no one else...

Looking for someone else,
I'm just looking for someone else.
Looking for someone else,
Now I'm looking for someone else.

I know that my search is in vain,
In my heart you remain.
