When you love someone Song Lyrics
When you love someone by Lucy Kaplansky Just look at yourself
In bed alone
Telling yourself you don't need anyone
That you don't mind that the girl that you knew is gone
You've washed your hands, you're moving on
But I caught you red handed yeah you told me the truth
that day on the street when she was first lost to you
How she threw you a lifeline and rescued you
And how beautiful she was to you
Chorus:
Maybe sometime you can lose a little sleep
Die inside a little bit too
Maybe sometime you can stand by her
Oh like you promised to
Cause don't you know when you love someone that's what you do
She told me a story once you don't talk about
How you stayed in your room and hardly ever came out
To drown out your father kept the radio on
But is cold comfort better then none
Met a pretty girl she made you a home
She gave you a family you could call your own
You kept to yourself like your father would do
It's too late for him now I don't know about you
Chorus
But i remember when I knitted that sweater for you
It was sorry and ragged and didn't fit you
But you wore it for years just like you knew
You wore it for years just like you knew
That when you love someone that's what you
Now you're back in your room with the radio up loud
She's somewhere you're trying not to think about
You're alone in your bed where you started out
But the radio can't comfort you now
Cause you can't shake the memories you made in that bed
The children and the longing and the words you both said
You could go to her now and take her hand
And promise to stay she might still understand
Chorus
