Nobody But You
Sonder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴I've heard it all
Our conversations got me feelin' I'm the fool
Like I should have listened when they said that you
Would treat me like he did, oh, yeah
Said I did it all
Situation makes me feel I'm not a man at all
Swore I'd be there, swore that I'd catch your fall
I guess I couldn't handle it, no
And I know you probably thinkin' I ain't worth shit
But I never want anyone to bring you any harm
And I'd take it all back just to have you in my arms
And I know for a fact who you are ain't who we are
We are
Don't think you cared about me (oh, girl, I care about you)
But you don't care 'bout nobody (nobody but you)
Don't think you cared about me (oh, girl, I care about you)
But you don't care 'bout nobody (nobody but you)
I wish I had the time to run to you, not ruin your life
I'd never wrong you twice, I wanna make things right
And maybe you'll take me
Hope you don't hate me
Don't want to fight anymore
Daytimes are silent as hell
I wish that I could ignore all that you said
If you can't find the time or space
Then I don't have the words to say
I wonder, is the only peace we'll find
Gonna be when you tell me goodbye?
And I know you probably thinkin' I ain't worth shit
But I never want anyone to bring you any harm
And I'd take it all back just to have you in my arms
And I know for a fact who you are ain't who we are
We are
Don't think you cared about me (oh, girl, I care about you)
But you don't care 'bout nobody (nobody but you)
Don't think you cared about me (oh, girl, I care about you)
But you don't care 'bout nobody (nobody but you)
