Someone Else's Problem
Derailers · Other Songs - Derailers
From all the daily heartache and night time misery
Troubles they're all over, she's just a memory
Someone else's problem, that's all she is to me
I was goin' crazy, out of my mind
Closer to the edge day by day
Step by step, walkin' that line
When another fool stepped in to take my place
Now she's someone else's problem, and I'm finally free
From all the daily heartache and night time misery
Troubles they're all over, she's just a memory
Someone else's problem, that's all she is to me
I was always out of money, workin' overtime
While she ran up bills, I couldn't pay
All my friends say, she's lookin' fine
Since she's been gone, I feel the same
Now she's someone else's problem, and I'm finally free
From all the daily heartache and night time misery
Troubles they're all over, she's just a memory
Someone else's problem, that's all she is to me
Someone else's problem, that's all she is to me
