Somebody's Everything

Hey beautiful, where did you go?
There’s an emptiness inside this home where you used to roam.


And even though she’s been gone for far too long
I know you’ll see her again so you try to be strong.

And I miss the times where I didn’t feel so old
And you, were always there to guide me through
Sometimes I wish I took the hit and you were left to deal with it
But I could never wish this pain on anybody but me.


Hey buddy, you’ve been feeling down
And I can’t say that I know what you’re going through
And I won’t tell you to smile ‘cause a fake kind of happy – well, it’s sad.
You light up my life and I’m here if you need me
Just in case you gotta vent.

Well when you put it like that, I guess that we could chat
But feel free to shut me up at any old time.


She was somebody’s darling!
(somebody’s girl)
Somebody’s daughter!
(somebody’s world)
Somebody’s sister!
(somebody’s girl)
Her own mind and body!
Somebody’s everything to me!


Do you remember those days?
When we’d sit inside your room
Playing card games and forgetting all the rules
Well, I - I’m caught waxing nostalgic
Over everything about you that I can recall


Hey buddy, take the time you need
If you wanna let it out, then get it out
I’m so proud of you.

When I was younger I would look up to her
She was my superhero, now I fear I can’t move on
I wish there was a way to turn back time
But that’s a silly thing to think and I’ve lost my reason and rhyme.


Don’t stop if you don’t want to stop.
You know I’m all ears
I’ve said too much.

But I know I can trust you, hey
You’ve been here through the years.


Just give me closure
I wanna know that everything happened for a reason
Give me closure
‘Cause I’m getting hung up on so many little things


Don’t mind me
I’m just picking up the pieces and tearing out the glass
And I don’t know
If I’ll ever let you go but I can never let the sadness die


Take a month, take a year, take a decade
Anything you need, forever if you want
It’s not a matter of moving on
It’s a matter of making peace.

It’s tough to pretend that nothing hurts
And that I’m through with our scars
And I can’t always smile, but when I can, for a while
I can take on the world!


‘Cause you were…

She was somebody’s darling!
(somebody’s girl)
Somebody’s daughter!
(somebody’s world)
Somebody’s sister!
(somebody’s girl)
Her own mind and body!
Somebody’s everything to me!

Italicized parts are Anthony's singing parts; non-italics are for Andy. Bold parts are where they sing together.

(I don't think it's mentioned in [i]Generation Why Bother[/i] itself, but yeah, Andy and Anthony wrote this when Anthony was coping with his sister's death.)
