If you're looking for love
Know that love don't live here anymore
He left with my heart
They both walked through that door, without me
If you're trying to find pity well you need to look somewhere else
'Cause I surely can't help you
I'm hurting myself
I've turned into someone else
I used to believe love conquers all
Cause that's what's seen in movies
Come to find out it's not like that at all
You see, real life's much different
I don't want to see you go
I only want to see you smile
It hurts so much just thinking of
Felt like this for awhile
I can't stand to see us there
We cried, we lied
Cannot pretend to take us back
To what we had to make us feel alive again
Hold me close, don't let me go, I hope
Tell me that now is not the end
If you're looking for love
Know that love don't live here anymore
He left with my heart
They both walked through that door, without me
If you're trying to find pity well you need to look somewhere else
'Cause I surely can't help you
I'm hurting myself
I've turned into someone else
I've turned into someone else
I used to believe love conquers all
'Cause that's what I felt when you held me
I thought you'd catch me if I fall
And fill me up when I'm empty
I don't want to see you go
I only want to see you smile
It hurts so much just thinking of
Felt like this for awhile
I can't stand to see you there
We cried, we lied
Cannot pretend to take us back to what we had to make us feel alive again
Hold me close, don't let me go, I hope
Tell me that now is not the end
If you're looking for love
Know that love don't live here anymore
He left with my heart
They both walked through that door, without me
If you're trying to find pity well you need to look somewhere else
'Cause I surely can't help you
I'm hurting myself
I've turned into someone else
Love is patient, love is selfless
Love is hopeful, love is kind
Love is jealous, love is selfish
Love is helpless, love is blind
Love is patient, love is selfless
Love is hopeful, love is kind
Love is jealous, love is selfish
Love is helpless, love is blind
Love is patient, love is selfless
Love is hopeful, love is kind
Love is jealous, love is selfish
Love is helpless, love is blind
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, yeah
I've turned into someone else
About This Song
"Someone Else" is a raw exploration of heartbreak's transformative power, capturing the disorienting aftermath of betrayal when both love and identity are simultaneously lost. The song delves into the psychological devastation that occurs when romantic idealism-shaped by Hollywood fantasies of love conquering all-collides brutally with reality. Cyrus portrays a protagonist who has become unrecognizable to herself, stripped of both her capacity for empathy and her fundamental beliefs about love's redemptive power. The lyrics reveal someone so emotionally depleted that she cannot offer comfort to others, having "turned into someone else" through the trauma of abandonment. Musically, the track features a haunting, minimalist production that mirrors the emotional emptiness described in the lyrics, with sparse instrumentation that emphasizes the vulnerability in Cyrus's vocal delivery. The song represents a darker, more introspective side of the *Bangerz* era, contrasting sharply with the album's more rebellious party anthems. What makes the track particularly resonant is its honest portrayal of how heartbreak doesn't just cause sadness-it can fundamentally alter one's personality and worldview. The song connected with listeners who recognized the authentic depiction of post-breakup numbness and the frightening realization that emotional trauma can reshape who we are at our core.
