Someone else

from The act of persisting by Emma Forman

lyrics

You wanted to know if I had any regrets
I gave the answer I thought you wanted to hear
but the truth is you're my one regret
Oh the truth is you're my one regret

Why couldn't I have loved someone who fought on my side?
Why couldn't I have loved anyone else?
Why couldn't I have loved somebody else?
Why couldn't I have loved anybody else?
Anyone but you would have been a kinder fate
Anyone but you and it wouldn't end this way

All my life I dreamt of love
I was a prisoner to all that I wanted
While the others went chasing for lust
Only in love would I bow for
Only for love would I bow for

Why couldn't I have loved anyone else?
Why couldn't I have loved somebody else?
Why couldn't I have loved anyone but you?
Oh anyone would have been a kinder fate

Forgiveness won't come for me
I pretend I'm okay when I'm not
My head is a mess and I can't keep it all together
Cos all I know is time is running out

Oh Why couldn't I have loved someone else?
Anybody else just not you
Oh why couldn't I have loved someone else?
Anybody else would have been a kinder fate than you
Oh why couldn't I have loved someone else?
Oh why couldn't I have loved someone else?
Oh why couldn't I have loved someone else?
Oh why couldn't I have spared myself this fate?
