THIS SONG
if you’re under the impression that
i’m still hung up on you
believe me when i say that’s not the case
whole minutes even hours go by
when i don’t feel the need to try
to picture every detail of your face
the best thing you ever did for me was to let me go
i don’t even want to talk to you
i just thought you ought to know that
this song is about somebody else
someone who’s there for me
who’d never do me wrong
this song is about somebody else
only hope i meet that someone else before too longi know you like to think
i’m missing you like mad
but i’ve got other things to fill my mind
i barely even feel the loss
when i run my hand across
the imprint on the mattress that your body left behind
best thing you did for me was to let me go
don’t even want to talk to you
i just thought you ought to know that
this song is about somebody else
someone who makes you so much easier to forget
this song is about somebody else
even though i haven’t found that someone else just yeti’m not thinking of your eyes not thinking of your lips
not thinking how your tummy feels beneath my fingertips
not wondering where you are now what you’re doing or with who
i forgot what i was thinking of but i’m sure it wasn’t you cos
this song is about somebody else
someone who helps me to make sense of everything
this song is about somebody else
and when i meet that someone else
i’ll be sure to sing her this song
