lyrics

You were someone else before the smile
I sent your way like the sun
I could see you were a child
With a sea of broken love in your lungs

I was someone else before the look
You gave me on the night I found
Some sort of magic out of a book
Some treasure buried in my ground

Now
When I need a fire you’re my spark
Now
It seems like we were fated from the start
How
Could someone else have ever held my heart

You were someone else before the songs
I played for you on the phone
My dog would try to sing along
He could see I was scared to be alone

I was someone else before you cried
For all the days you were caught
Inside the prison of your pride
Playing a person you were not

Now
When you need a fire I’m your spark
Now
It seems like we were fated from the start
How
Could someone else have ever held your heart
