Someone Better
Somewhere else there’s someone better
Having coffee with another better else
Who I’d like to be
But I’m stuck here with you
(you) and I will hope snapshots of better people’s lives
Will hold at bay the will to die for another day
Cause I just want love
I just want to love
I just want to be loved
By someone better
I just need a better piece of glass
to give me happiness;
I’ll trade my hard-earned money
for a girl in a box and now
I’ll never need another friend or lover
She can be whoever I’d like her to be
Cause I just want love
I just want to love
I just want to be loved
By someone better
Make me a conduit of grace
Just to stare death in the face
Take up the surgeon’s knife and
Tear out his heart;
Make me an instrument of peace
Just to give more than receive
Be in the darkness light,
In hatred:
Love more than be loved
Cause I just want love
I just want to be loved
So teach me love to love
Love more than be loved
Cause I just want to love
Someone better
