VERSE 1

Sometimes you feel like you just cannot deal
Anymore with the way things are going
And sometimes you cry ‘cause you’re too tired to try
And you think that you’re better for knowing
That somewhere in this world, there’s somebody else
Who’s worse off than you and they’re going through hell
And you wonder how much more you’ve got to go through
Before something finally comes back to you

CHORUS 1

‘Cause there’s no better feeling than knowing that love
Being with someone you’ve only dreamt of
And there’s nothing worse than to find later on
That it all felt right, but somehow it went wrong
We’re all somewhere someone else wants to be
And that’s why I wrote down this song
Because somewhere, somebody in love
Would write one for me

VERSE 2

Sometimes you reach high, but you can’t touch the sky
Because broken wings can’t take you flying
And then there are days when you walk in a haze
Because part of you has given up trying
To keep on pretending you’re not dead inside
That, somehow, it killed you, but you never died
And you wonder how much more they think you can take
Before something besides your heart starts to break

CHORUS 1 REPEAT

BRIDGE

If only they knew how much you have gone through
They could understand how you’re in pain
But it’s hard to glue something that’s cut in two
Back together so it feels the same

VERSE 3

So, what does it matter if all your tears scatter
Where no one can wipe them away
We’re just flesh and bone and we all die alone
When at last we return to the clay
So why not stop hoping and pass into night
Give up your burden and forfeit the fight
Why not rest easy, abandon the lie
Well, there’s a good reason, and I’ll tell you why

CHORUS 2

It’s ‘cause nothing is better than knowing that love
Being with someone you’ve only dreamt of
And it doesn’t always go bad in the end
And still, though it might, you know I’ll be your friend
We’re all somewhere someone else wants to be
And that’s why I wrote down this song
Because somewhere, somebody in love
Oh, now, somewhere, somebody in love
Because I know that you, whom I love
Would write one for me
