It Wasn't Them

She wanted to love somebody who deserved to be loved
She wanted to hug somebody who deserved to be hugged
She wanted to hold somebody when her thoughts went dim
She wanted to love somebody but it wasn't him

His life was a corporate castle, a constant bureaucratic hassle
And he'd go out on the town every night because his heart would stir
He'd meet a woman dressed in scarlet with the eyes of a garage band harlot
And he'd keep buying her drinks until her speech began to slur

He wanted to love somebody
He wanted to love somebody
He wanted to love, but it wasn't her
He wanted to know somebody who deserved to be known

He wanted to grow with somebody who deserved to be grown
He wanted to kiss somebody, but he wasn't sure
He wanted to love somebody, but it wasn't her
Her life was a one-act drama stage in a shoe box diorama

And she'd go out on the town every night when she left the gym
She'd meet a man in a tailored jacket with eyes as blue as garage band racket
And he'd keep buying her drinks, hoping her prospects were growing slim
She wanted to love somebody

She wanted to love somebody
She wanted to love, but it wasn't him
Yes, they wanted to love somebody
They wanted to love somebody

They wanted to love, but it wasn't them
