somebody loved you a little
a long, long time ago
but i’m here to tell you that today
somebody loves you a lot, somebody loves you a lot
somebody wrote you a letter
that tore your heart up
it split your soul, but you’re almost whole by now
and today somebody loves you a lot, somebody loves you a lot
but when you looked back at me from your hundred-mile distance
did you fear for our story, starting in such struggle and grief?
or did you think i was lying?
does “i love you” mean “i’m ready to leave?”
someone touched you too deeply
and damaged your armor
your battlefield might never heal
but right now, right here
somebody loves you a lot, somebody loves you a lot
and when the curtain came down on our hundred-day romance
i was applauding your beauty, soon to shiver with the tears of goodbye
i followed you into silence, waiting for an encore
or another chance
somebody loves you a lot, somebody loves you a lot
somebody loves you
