Lyrics

Somebody

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.

So you dropped me

Held me by my feet and let me go

I fell between the seat, but nothing broke

I've yet to feel that brilliant afterglow

The one I knew of years ago

Now I'm twisted

Twisted from the waist and spun around

Promised only sky but given ground

Realized the makeup is for a clown

The clown I knew of months ago

[Chorus]

I only wanted to be somebody

So fucking bad, I came unglued

I only wanted to be somebody

So here we are now, face to face

And I'm fucking you

So you caught me!

Wishing I were better than the rest

You hit me and left bruises on my chest

And when I wouldn't cheat

I spit upon your test

The test I tore up weeks ago

And now my fist is

My fist is for your face to cock the jaw

When I begin to rise, you start to fall

Now you know how it feels to drop the ball

The ball I threw back days ago

[Chorus]

So I'll just stand right here for now

I should have won, but how?

I break a smart ass grin

Who let the loser win?

Let's break a smart ass grin

Let's let the losers win!
