Some Other Guy

Some other guy ruined all your favorite theaters in LA
So when I tried, you said you couldn't date somebody on the scene
Some other guy said he loved you, just to leave you the next day
So when I forgot to text, you thought that I was gonna leave

Some other guy broke it off every weekend as a threat
Some other guy showed you anger was the language of a man
So you would break it off each weekend and then beg me to forget
You would speak to me in anger and I wouldn't understand

A thousand pinpricks made you fear
Some other guy would reappear
You pushed away a thousand times
How can I convince you that I'm not some other guy?

Some other guy made you cry, undermined your self-esteem
Now you find hidden lies in the compliments I say
Some other guy met other girls, hoping that you wouldn't see
Now you hide me like a dog, always expecting me to stray

Some other guy changed his mind when he wanted you in bed
Now you act like makin' love can just make up for anything
Some other guy used your body to explain what's in his head
Now you treat me like my body's yours, no matter how I'm feelin'

A thousand pinpricks made you fear
Some other guy would reappear
You pushed away a thousand times
How can I convince you that I'm not some other guy?

But knowing where the toxins come from doesn't make it safe to drink
And knowing why you're yelling doesn't give me room to think
And you tried to pull me closer, but you pushed me to the brink
Ooh

A thousand pinpricks made you fear
You crushed them down on me for years
I had to leave, I can't survive
Finally, you turned me into some other guy
