Someone Is Me - Kenny Rogers

A red swing in the garden Too drunk on the bourbon I was high above the sky When you put my guard down And I just put it all out I was on my way to cry But the timin' was wrong 'Cause I had another one at home Where I thought I belong (Thought I belong) I should've known That somethin' was wrong You can't fall in love if you're in love You shouldn't feel better when you're off alone You know Sometimes it takes somebody new to let someone go Sometimes mistakes makes you move where you need to go Just like any flower, you look sad if you don't grow Sometimes it takes somebody new To let someone go To let someone go To let someone go, mm-mm-mmh To let someone go To let someone go Sometimes it takes somebody new To let someone go, ahh To let someone go, mm-mm-mmh Was good 'til it wasn't I took all his problems And I made them into mine It was never no one's fault But I needed a wake up call I was better for him Than he was for me No, I can't be strong If I never put myself first And keep holdin' on (Keep holdin' on) Just makes it worse Yeah, somethin' was wrong (Somethin' was wrong) You can't fall in love if you're in love You shouldn't feel better when you're off apart You know Sometimes it takes somebody new to let someone go (To let someone go) Sometimes mistakes makes you move where you need to go Just like any flower, you look sad if you don't grow Sometimes it takes somebody new To let someone go To let someone go To let someone go, mm-mm-mmh To let someone go (To let someone go) To let someone go (To let someone go) Sometimes it takes somebody new To let someone go

I heard a knock upon my door the other day I opened it to find death staring in my face The feel of mortal stalking still reverberates Everywhere I go, I drag this coffin just in case My body's trembling, sends shivers down my spine Adrenaline kicks in, shifts into overdrive Your secrets keep you sick, your lies keep you alive Snake eyes every single time you roll with crooked dice I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down The kind of dark that haunts a hundred-year-old house I wrestle with my thoughts, I shook the hand of doubt Running from my past, I'm praying, "Feet, don't fail me now" I've lost my goddamn mind, it happens all the time I can't believe I'm actually meant to be here Trying to consume, the drug in me is you And I'm so high on misery, can't you see? I've got these questions always running through my head So many things that I would like to understand If we are born to die and we all die to live Then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts? I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down The kind of dark that haunts a hundred-year-old house I wrestle with my thoughts, I shook the hand of doubt Running from my past, I'm praying, "Feet, don't fail me now" I've lost my goddamn mind, it happens all the time I can't believe I'm actually meant to be here Trying to consume, the drug in me is you And I'm so high on misery, can't you see? I've lost myself You tried to reach me, but you just can't help me So long, goodbye You tried to save me, it won't work this time 'cause now I've lost my fucking mind, and there's no fucking time I can't believe I'm actually meant to be here Trying to consume, the drug in me is you And I'm so high on misery, can't you see? Can't you see? Can't you see? Can't you, can't you, can't you see? Can't you see?

I've been having a hard time adjusting I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting I didn't know if you'd care if I came back I have a lot of regrets about that Pulled the car off the road to the lookout Could've followed my fears all the way down And maybe I don't quite know what to say But I'm here in your doorway I just wanted you to know That this is me trying I just wanted you to know That this is me trying They told me all of my cages were mental So I got wasted like all my potential And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad I have a lot of regrets about that I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere Fell behind on my classmates, and I ended up here Pouring out my heart to a stranger But I didn't pour the whiskey I just wanted you to know That this is me trying I just wanted you to know That this is me trying At least I'm trying And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town And I just wanted you to know That this is me trying (And maybe I don't quite know what to say) I just wanted you to know That this is me trying At least I'm trying

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "somebody's got to take care of him" So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
