Someone new

from Alexander's Ghosts by F. Leaf

/

about

As much as it might sound like this song is about self-loathing, it's actually about somebody else being so amazing that you yourself pale in comparison.

lyrics

Are my eyes too sad?
Is my will too strong?
Are my teeth too bad?
Is my hair too long?

I can smile some more
I can understand
If you're looking for
That kind of man

And I cry at night
And I go for walks
Because I love the light
But if we don't talk

Can I show you that?
Can you fucking tell
When I'm doing bad,
When I'm doing well?

Are there any ways
That could make me change
Into someone new,
Into someone who
Could love you?

Should I let you go?
Or do I have to plead
For you to let me know?
Because you really need

To set me free
To save my soul
To rescue me
To make me whole

I can make you smile
Yes, I know I can
Maybe for a while
But that's better than

To feel sick and tired
Full of misery
To have lost the fire
To be just like me

Are there any ways
That could make me change
Into someone new
Into someone who
Could love you?
