Someone Else To Love

from Less Than Three by Marjorie Halloran

/

lyrics

I was drunk at your party once
Felt a little sick, but still had fun
Until I went up to you and said
Exactly how I felt 'bout you
After that, things just weren't the same
No inside jokes, no cute nicknames
You went out with another girl
And led your life without me
And you turned the other way
So you wouldn't hear me say…

That I wonder what might have been
What could have been, what should have been
If you'd done what you should have done
We would have been together
It's a shame that you couldn't see
That I could be your meant-to-be
And that it was my destiny
To be alone forever
And you tore my world apart
The day you broke my heart
And you told me I'd find someone else to love.

So we went on a big choir trip
Got too much sun and not enough sleep
And a friend of mine came up to you
And said I had a crush on you
And regardless of its validity
She told the truth, but backstabbed me
And you didn't feel the same way
Said, "good luck finding somebody"
Still you said it's not the end
"We can just be friends"

That I wonder what might have been
What could have been, what should have been
If you'd done what you should have done
We would have been together
It's a shame that you couldn't see
That I could be your meant-to-be
And that it was my destiny
To be alone forever
And you tore my world apart
The day you broke my heart
And you told me I'd find someone else to love.

Unlucky in love, a failure at romance
Can't sing the song and don't know the dance
This one's taken, that one moved away
That one, on the other hand, he swings the other way
He's too young and he's the wrong religion
So tell me, when do I get a decision?
Everybody else is K-I-S-S-I-N-G
And I'm still stuck alone in the tree

I check my email every day
An instant message pops up to say
That you saw my picture on that blog
And you think that I'm pretty
Went to the movies, have all the same friends
Don't want this day to ever end
And two months later, you ask the question,
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
And you made my whole world new
The day you said "I love you"

Now I don't care what might have been
What could have been, what should have been
If they'd done what they should have done,
We would not be together
I'm ecstatic that you could see
That I should be your meant-to-be
And now it's not my destiny
To be alone forever
And I hope we never part
From the day you stole my heart
And I'm glad that I found someone else to love

I'm glad that you're the someone else I love
