Someone New
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can love you desperately, though you love ain't guaranteed
Oh, I wish you knew the deal, gotta learn from far away
And I simply needed space, space for me to be
And I think you need it too, though I know you call me selfish for assuming
I did this for you too, you still got me 'round your finger even though I'm far away
Please believe me when I say
Everything I do, I'm gonna think of you
Don't know what else to do
You got me, you got me baby
Everything I make I only make for you
Baby be patient for me
And please don't fall in love with someone new
I promise one day I'll come back for you
Oh, you say you hate me now and you burn me with your words
Calling me a fool, saying that I fucked up everything and you'll never forgive me
Though I'm doing this for you
Baby can't you see
There's such a thing of loving someone so much
That you need to give them time to let them breathe
But you don't understand, I wish you understood
Oh, I hope one day you do
Everything I do, I'm gonna think of you
Don't know what else to do
You've got me, you've got me baby
Everything I make I only make for you
Baby, be patient for me
And please don't fall in love with someone new
I promise one day I'll come back for you
Believe in you, believe in me
We're meant to be together
I told you, weren't lying, I know you are relying
And now I am supplying you the time and space
To let you grow into the person that I know
That I know you could be
And I could be her too, and I'll come back to you
But I ain't ready for you baby, I ain't ready for you now
I'm not ready right now
Please, don't hate me
Everything I do, I'm gonna think of you
Don't know what else to do
You got me, you got me baby
Everything I make, I'm gonna make for you
Baby be patient for me
And please don't fall in love with someone new
I promise one day I'll come back to you
I promise one day I'll come back to you
I promise one day I'll come back to you
I promise baby one day I'll come back to you
I promise baby one day I'll come back to you
