"Someone Else" lyrics

"Someone Else"

The reaction from my friends made me feel good
They thought I'd found the perfect match and so did I
But little did I know
That you had other plans

You were looking for better
You were looking for faster
You were looking for anything other than I had to offer
And while I was happy to give you everything
You were hoping someone else will come along
Someone else will come along
You were waiting for someone else to come along
Someone else will come along
You were waiting for someone else to come along

I was working hard to make your dreams come true
All my happiness depended just on you
But I just didn't hear
We were singing out of tune

The design for your life
Does that include my love
Were you faking what you whispered in my ear
And while I was happy to give you everything
You were hoping someone else will come along

Someone else will come along
You were waiting for someone else to come along
Someone else will come along
You were waiting for someone else to come along

Now I see
Who you really are
Your colours fade like a falling star

Someone else will come along
You were waiting for someone else to come along

Baby
You're not fooling me
Not any more
Yea Baby
Don't come knock knock knocking at my door
Ooh baby
You're not fooling me
Not any more
Yea baby

Someone else will come along
You were waiting for someone else to come along
