Cover art for Red lyrics by Daniel Merriweather

I think this song is about a girl he is in love with but she doesn't love him because can't get over her ex. She lead him on and told him it would work but she doesn't love him. He thinks it was perfect but she's coming up with all these problems that aren't real because she's too busy comparing him to her ex.

Also the line "I can't be somebody else" is Daniel's way of saying that he can't be her ex. he is himself but that's not good enough for her. She's in denial saying that she's over her ex but he can see through her. "Behind your lies, I can see the secrets you don't show".

An excellent song, helping me through the same situation at the moment. I love how you can hear the emotion in his voice.

Danom8, this is exactly how I see it. And exactly the same situation I am in at the moment.

Thanks, it's nice to know I'm not the only one in that situation, it really sucks :(

I think you have got it spot on personally, i think its EXACTLY what it means. Im also in the same situation and it really does suck :| x
