Someone I Ain't

Bee Gees · Other Songs - Bee Gees

It wasn't what you said

It's knowin' what you mean

You wanna spread your wings and fly

Where the moment takes you off

Tryin' hard to be , someone you ain't



It wasn't how you laughed

That taught me how to cry

Convincin' me your heart is

A million dreams away

Tryin' hard to be , someone you ain't



You came along when I was down

And found a place within me

All the love I ever had can not

Replace the things you did

I'm still in love with you and

Even though you're gone

I gotta try , gotta try ,

Gotta try , gotta try



Someday I'm gonna win

And get back to your arms

And here am I alone

With a memory of you

Tryin' hard to be , someone I ain't



We held it in , we gave it out

There wasn't any quarter

All the pieces fell apart

It still ain't like it ought to be

I'm still in love with you

Even though you're gone

I gotta try , gotta try ,

Gotta try , gotta try



You came along when I was down

And found a place within me

All the love I ever had can not

Replace the things you did

I'm still in love with you

Even though you're gone

I gotta try , gotta try

Gotta try , gotta try



We held it in , we gave it out

There wasn't any quarter

All the pieces fell apart

It still ain't like it ought to be

I'm still in love with you

Even though you're gone

I gotta try , gotta try ,

Gotta try , gotta try (fade out)
