"Somebody Else" lyrics

Oh, why does everybody want somebody else?
As soon as I give them all of myself

Paralyzed, pushed out of paradise
Dropped from the highest highs to the lows, to the lows
Traumatized, always on the other side
Maybe you were never mine, I don't know, I don't know

Maybe I'm the reason you're leaving, you'll never come back
I cause too much pain, I'm not worth that
Maybe I'm the problem, too blind to see it
Am I the one to blame?

Oh, why does everybody want somebody else?
As soon as I give them all of myself
Oh, why does everybody want somebody else?
As soon as I give them all of myself

You're just like everybody when you say you're sorry
Why'd you gotta lie when you say that you love me?
Finding out the hard way, boxes in the hallway
Tell me it's a dream when I wake up in the morning

Maybe I'm the reason you're leaving, you'll never come back
I cause too much pain, I'm not worth that
Maybe I'm the problem, too blind to see it
Am I the one to blame?

Oh, why does everybody want somebody else?
As soon as I give (As soon as I give) them all of myself
Oh, why does everybody want somebody else? (somebody else?)
As soon as I give (As soon as I give) them all of myself

(Oh, why does everybody want somebody else?)
I just want somebody to love me
(As soon as I give them all of myself)
I just want somebody to hold
(Oh, why does everybody want somebody else?)
If forever is too much to ask for
(As soon as I give them all of myself)
Can I hold you for a little while more?
Can I hold you for a little while more?
