You Were Somebody

I made the same mistake 

I made up my mind

I thought I took all I could take 

But apparently I still had to find out

And when the story was over 

And I closed the book

I kept saying over and over 

You were somebody 

For this nobody 

And now you’re telling everybody 

In this town I’m a bastard 

I fell head over ass in the past

I allowed my hormones to do the thinking 

Getting too close too fast

Or like I had done some serious drinking 

You were just another person 

I thought could save me

Another casualty of my insanity 

Everything wrong, blame me

And when the honeymoon was over 

And the affection died down 

We made each other cry all over 

And you told everyone in town

That you were somebody 

For this nobody 

And now you’re telling everybody 

In this town I’m a bastard 

You were somebody 

For this nobody 

And now you’re telling everybody 

In this town I’m a bastard 

You were somebody 

For this nobody 

And now you’re telling everybody 

In this town I’m a bastard 

You were somebody 

For this nobody 

And now you’re telling everybody 

In this town I’m a bastard 

You’re telling everybody 

You’re telling everybody 

You’re telling everybody 

You’re telling everybody 

You’re telling everybody 

I’m a nobody 

I’m a nobody 

I’m a nobody
