No One Like You

Three sides to every story

Just like the singer said

There's yours and there's the truth

And mine runs through my head

Somewhere in between the lines

We read between the lies

My tears were caterpillars

But now they're butterflies

I don't want no one like you, my dear

Don't want no one like you

When you got rid of me

I got rid myself of you

No, I don't want no one like you, my dear

Don't want no one like you

I dog-eared the book I'm reading

Way beyond the point I've read

I want this chapter over

The protagonist may be dead

Somewhere in between the lines

I've written different words

The nest full of my sorrows

Has given rise to birds

I don't want no one like you, my dear

Don't want no one like you

When you got rid of me

I got rid myself of you

No, I don't want no one like you, my dear

And you don't want me, too
