Somebody Like Me

Rachael Yamagata(레이첼 야마가타)

I watch my friends on big stages

And I can't help wondering if I'll get my chance

I wake up thinking about it

I fall asleep thinking about it again

 

You're not supposed to want for what you don't have

We all have got what's coming, and I don't want that taken back

And I know you should be happy for the things that have been

And it's not that I'm ungrateful, I'm just losing some steam

Is there anyone who ever feels like me?

 

I know someone who can't move off the floor most days

And I want to tell him to get along, but I don't know what to say

In my younger years, I used to think that everything worked out

And I want to tell him his time is coming

But what if it's all a fairytale I've been unwilling to see?

Is there anyone who ever feels like me?

 

Most days I'm okay, and I can get back on my feet

You can't dwell on the negative and have the bad times leave

But every now and then it gets the best of me

And I wonder, is this how it's meant to be for me, for me?

 

I hope that there is somebody else out there

Who's fought what I've been going through before

I'm not proud of the way that I've been feeling

I'm not proud that inside I still want more

 

It's not a thing we want to show our children

It's not the way I want to use my time

But I don't know what to do with all these feelings

And I hate that they are mine

Yes, I hate that they are mine

 

But if somebody is out there, and you need to let it out

And you don't want anybody else to see

This one's for you

This one's for him

This one's for her

This one's for them

'Cause there's gotta be somebody who feels like me
