Lyrics
You think it's so easy to love me and leave me
You believe it's easy to love and then abandon me
Your self fulfilled prophecies finally come true
Your predictions about yourself are now coming true
You know that we need this
Recognizing the necessity of the situation
The distance between us
The emotional or physical space separating us
So we can both become
To allow both of us to transform and evolve
Somebody new
Into individuals who are different from the past
Somebody new
Emphasizing the need for a fresh start
Someone like me
Desiring someone new
Someone like you
Referencing the singer or the listener
Somebody new
Expressing the need for change
Someone like me
Again mentioning the singer or the listener
Someone like you
Reiterating the desire for something different
Although it may seems we look perfect on paper
Despite appearances, the relationship isn't perfect
The lines become blurred between lovers and haters
The boundaries between love and hate are unclear
Once loyal hearts
Once loyal hearts have become disloyal
Have turned into traitors
Transforming into betrayers
So weathered and jaded
Weary and cynical, feeling emotionally worn
And broken in two
Broken and divided
Somebody new
Seeking someone new
Someone like me
Similar to the singer
Someone like you
Similar to the listener
Somebody new
Yearning for change
Someone like me
Similar to the singer
Someone like you
Similar to the listener
So hold up your lighters
Celebrating various types of people
Winners and fighters
Those who succeed and fight
Truth telling liars
People who speak the truth but may deceive
Pretenders and fools
Deceptive and foolish individuals
Lovers and dreamers
Individuals filled with love and aspirations
Who come in between us
Interfering in our relationship
So we can both become somebody new
To enable both of us to become someone new
Somebody new
Reiteration of the desire for change
Someone like me
Similar to the singer
Someone like you
Similar to the listener
Somebody new
Yearning for a fresh start
Someone like me
Similar to the singer
Someone like you
Similar to the listener
So hold up your lighters
Repeating the call for change
Winners and fighters
Those who succeed and fight
Truth telling liars
People who speak the truth but may deceive
Pretenders and fools
Deceptive and foolish individuals
Who make up the rules
Those who create and enforce the rules
