Already somebody’s baby

Saw you walkin’ through that neon door,

Hand in hand like I ain’t here no more.

He’s wearin’ that grin I used to know,

The one that told me you were good to go.

And I swear that I could hear my heart hit the floor…

’Cause you’re already somebody’s baby,

Already callin’ someone else’s name.

Guess I was slow while he was waitin’,

Now he’s the fire in your flame.

I’m standin’ here with this empty maybe—

While you’re already somebody’s baby.

I still remember how your laugh felt warm,

Like front-porch summers before the storm.

But life moves fast when you close that door,

And I guess mine just froze at “us” once more.

You look happy—yeah, happier than before…

’Cause you’re already somebody’s baby,

Already callin’ someone else’s name.

Guess I was slow while he was waitin’,

Now he’s the fire in your flame.

I’m standin’ here with this empty maybe—

While you’re already somebody’s baby.

Maybe one day I’ll find my own sunrise,

Someone who don’t leave shadows in my eyes.

But tonight it hits like whiskey burnin’ slow—

You’ve let me go… and I’m the last to know.

Yeah, you’re already somebody’s baby,

Already lost in someone else’s eyes.

I’m done holdin’ on to “someday, maybe”—

Guess this is how a good thing dies.

I’ll walk away, but damn it drives me crazy…

That you’re already somebody’s baby.
