Flora Cash - You're Somebody Else - Lyrics

I saw the part of you
That only when you're older you will see too
You will see too
I held the better cards
But every stroke of luck has got a bleed through
It's got a bleed through
You held the balance of the time
That only blindly I could read you
But I could read you
It's like you told me
Go forward slowly
It's not a race to the end

Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous

You were the better part
Of every bit of beating heart that I had
Whatever I had
I finally sat alone
Pitch black flesh and bone
Couldn't believe that you were gone

Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous

Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous

Where are we?
Where are we?

Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous

Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous

I saw the part of you that only when you're older
You will see too, you will see too

This song goes out to every child that was once happy but went through too much as they grew up and it broke them. I am one of those

[lizethfloress]

This song hits so deep on a personal level. Imagine waking up one day and looking in the mirror and you look the same to everyone but you can feel yourself slowly changing. You can feel yourself losing pieces of yourself and you suffer in silence never asking for help. Eventually one day you completely lose your identity and have no idea who you are. It hurts so much. It hurts even more when you try to interact with friends and family but you don't know how to act anymore so you just stand there like a ghost. You're there but you aren't there.

[millygeoffrey]

It's one of those songs that doesn't just make you feel sad, but deeper

EDIT: woah tysm for the likes! if anyone is going through a rough patch at the moment just hang in there, you got this and i love + support you <3

[celeste]

I have some mild trauma from mental health issues, and I used to cry to this song every night imagining the same thing; That one day I would find someone who understands what I’m going through. Someone who has delt with the things I went through. Back then it seemed like a fantasy, but I’m never gonna give up trying to find them. If you read this, thank you so much. It felt so good to type this out. I wish you the best.

[fay-qpcn]

it's sadder when you realise you're the one who changed...



EDIT:
You'll never be this young again.
if life's shit, smile &learn to see the good side. it passes. you can be happy if you really want to be.
its not a bad thing to change. you grow, you lose friends, you find new ones, you do better. LIVE :)

[sophg]

This is dedicated to that one best friend we’ve all had. The one that changed and never will be the same.

[jennahaifa]

does anyone just not know who they are anymore.

[aslynnclark]

I replayed this too many times and it never gets old. I love this song.

[mughleah]

i'd do anything to hear this song again for the first time.

[lesegolr]

I wish that people can understand that a depressed person doesn't want to die . They just want a different life and a happy one

[rileighsowards]

i’m not the same person i once was. i’ve completely lost myself

[The_Annoying_Fly]

*"Never regret a day in your life. Good days give happiness, bad days give experience, worst days give lessons, and best days give memories." -Unknown*
Even it seems like every day is a horrible day, I promise it gets better. Stay strong, and you've got this.

[GamewthGaim]

This is a song for people who found themselves, but lost everyone else in the process. I'm sorry it hurts, you're better for the strength you've gained.

[lostsoul]

The worst part, is when you lose yourself. You don’t even notice.

[kashysergio]

Quote: "Killing yourself doesn't end the depression it passes it to someone else."

[Globaldisasternetwork]

I could play this on repeat for hours.. such a powerful song 🔥

[gigigayle]

“when you look at yourself but you’re somebody else” that hits hard when you are so happy with your friends or at school then as soon as your home you cry and all you want to do is disappear.
EDIT: omg ty for all the likes! i wasn’t expecting people to see this. thank you everyone that’s trying to help

[shelbymaloney]

I hate thinking about younger me. Because i know younger me would be so disapointed in how I've changed... And how i treat myself.

[katiehoos]

that one best friend that you trusted and loved but never realized how toxic and bad they were for you, and when you realize you’ve already lost your whole self and you don’t know when you’ll be whole again, they messed you up and don’t even feel bad....and you still want them back..

[animationcreation]

This song made me cry... after all these years i can feel something. I stopped feeling numb after years. I thank you sir.
