Somebody Better
She would laugh at all my stories
Even the ones I've told before
She would never need explaining
She would just know what the silence was for
She would fit like something missing Never tired,
never bored Somebody better somewhere waiting
With an always open door
Somebody better out there somewhere
Who never argues, never doubts
Somebody better with no baggage
Who only knows what love's about
She would never bring up Tuesday
Never remind me what I said
She would have no disappointed
mother
No opinions in her head
She would look like understanding Smell like starting over clean
But the more I build this woman
The less she looks like anything real (ooh) Somebody better out there
somewhere
Who never argues, never doubts
Somebody better with no baggage
Who only knows what love's about
She has no face because I never gave her one
She has no past because a past would weigh her down
She's perfect because she doesn't exist And you're imperfect
because you're still around
There's nobody better, only different
Trading old problems for the new
There's nobody better, only someone
Who hasn't learned
how to disappoint me too
