Another You

I have met this person
Whose hair and style are just like you

I have met this person
Whose heart I think might be just like you

I have never really talked to him
Though we've said "Hi" a couple times
and we had dinner together once
Thrilling, but awkward it was

I heard stories about him
How he could be just like you
How he is as crazy as you
and how he has this dark, hidden side
All just like you


You don't know, do you?
How much I want to reach him
Just to know,
Will it be the same?
Or will he be another chance for me?


You don't know, do you?
How I'm dying to be with him,
Just to know,
Will we have the same ending?
Or will he be another you?

I know we have closed the book
And there's no more of us
'Cause our love has dried out
And there's only one way to go

But here I find another you
Hoping that by being with him
Things can go differently
Hoping that by being with him
I can rewrite that wonderful story

Here I find another you
The one I hope won't hurt like you
The one I hope won't get away

Never have I imagined
He'll stay till the end
Never have I dreamed of
Him being the one putting ring on my finger

Because here I find another you,
Merely hoping he'll be enough
Just to rewrite the whole story,
About a love given wholeheartedly
