Someone Else's Life Songtext
von The Delaneys

All she wanted never turned out right
Popped a handful for a long goodnight
An old whiskey bottle and a memory
She said you′re the only one
You're the only one for me

Mommy dearest
What a big charade
Filled the bathtub with a razor blade
She cut a final message for her little girl to see
It said you′re the only one
You're the only one for me

So fake a smile come dance for us
Pretend to rise up against the emptiness buried deep inside
Prayin' harder just because there′s not enough time
To live out all the plans you made for someone else′s life


Daddy moved on with his brand new wife
Called and told her he would visit twice a year
Missed her birthday but in the card Christmas day
She read you're the only one
You′re the only one for me

So fake a smile come dance for us
Pretend to rise up against the emptiness buried deep inside
Prayin' harder just because there′s not enough time
To live out all the plans you made for someone else's life

Well what she wanted was a lie
A mother′s love in short supply
When all she needed was goodbye
But you had to go
Had to go and die

Fake a smile come dance for us
Pretend to rise
Up against the emptiness buried deep inside
Prayin' harder just because there's not enough time
To live out all the plans you made for someone else′s life

You′re bleeding though it never does make you feel alive
Enough to see the tragedy through someone else's eyes
Believin′ in what never was
Just not enough time
To live out all the plans you made for someone else's life


Someone else′s life
Someone else's life
