Nobody Here by That Name
Shadows of Regret: Unraveling the Meaning in Patty Loveless' Nobody Here
Lyrics
I can tell by lookin' at the
I can discern by observing
Shadows across the wall
The shadows on the wall
Without pickin' up, who it is
Without answering, who it is
Who decided to call
Who decided to make a call
It's late and you're all tore down
It's late and you're emotionally distressed
You woke up darlin' and found
You woke up, dear, and discovered
You ran another one off and you want somebody to blame
You pushed away another person and seek someone to blame
But there's nobody here by that name
But currently, there is no one present with that name
While you carry on about another
While you lament about another person
Who broke your heart
Who caused you heartbreak
Well, I remember the night
I recall the night
You tore my world apart
You shattered my world
Everything I could want was mine
Everything I desired was once mine
I'd love you till the end of time
I vowed to love you endlessly
Well, that was then and now ain't it a shame
But circumstances have changed, and it's unfortunate
How there's nobody here by that name
Now there's no one here with that name
And you want somebody to help you
You desire someone to assist you
Somebody to tell you
Someone to advise you
To play along as long as you will play
To go along as long as you want to play
But there's nobody here by that name
Yet, there's no one here with that name
And you want somebody to help you
You seek someone to aid you
Somebody to tell you
Someone to instruct you
To play along as long as you will play
To go along as long as you want to play
Looking for one more fool who will never mind the rules of the game
Searching for another person who disregards the rules of the game
But there's nobody here, no, there's nobody here
But currently, there's no one here, no, there's no one here
No, there's nobody here by that name
No, there's nobody here with that name
