Someone

by S.J. Tyler

You want so much
That I can’t give
But if I could I would
I’d be the best
At everything
Just to show my love

But you ask much more
From me, my dear
Much more than I could be
You want perfection
In every way
Another person than just me

I can’t be everything to everyone
But I’ll be someone to you
I’ll be someone to you
If you let me
I can’t be everything to everyone
But I’ll be someone to you
I’ll be someone to you
If you let me

Do you really need
Anyone more than
someone? Someone to yourself?
To build you up
To make you tall
Or knock you off your shelf?

Cus you’ve been up there
For way too long
Watching over me
Pretending that
I was someone
I didn’t want to be

I can’t be everything to everyone
But I’ll be someone to you
I’ll be someone to you
If you let me
I can’t be everything to everyone
But I’ll be someone to you
I’ll be someone to you
If you let me

Just let me be someone
Just someone
Someone who loves you
I can’t do much more
I’ve said before
But that I’ll always do

Thank you. I've tried to say the same thing to my boyfriend but never quite so prettily. The first part spells it all out very nicely.
