I can't decide if I like this or not.... oh well it's going up. This song is my current mood :/
Sorry it's been a little longer then usual. It's been a rough few days.

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet

I groan as my alarm goes off. I roll over, hitting the off button. Every day is a little harder to get up. I'm not sure what it is, but I have to really force myself up every morning. I wobble on my feet as I stand. I look around the room. The empty half of the bed reflect my loneliness.

(Take a look at yourself) Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry)
Lord, what you're doing to me (yeah yeah)

I look at myself in the mirror. If you wore your heart on your sleeve, mine would be cracked. I see the bags under my eyes and my matted hair. Damn, I've gone to shit. I really need to take a break. I sigh, getting ready for the day.

I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord

I'm often this tired. I work at this cafe that's short staffed. I'm over worked, and really need a break. A real one. The cafe is closed on Sundays, but that's not a real break. I need a real one. But I haven't had a reason too. If I took a break, I'd end up working anyway to distract from loneliness. Hope doesn't really work for me anymore.

Somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Welp, I need to stop moping. God, I should just go on a dating website or some shit. Or get a dog. Yeah, a dog seems better. I grab my keys and head to my car to get to the cafe.

I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
I work 'til I ache in my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own

"Alright, here you go. Have a nice evening." I smile politely to the last customer. He leaves, and I sigh. Everything hurts. I mentally complain. I clean and lock up. It's dark and chilly, but I trudge one to my car.

I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray
'Til the tears run down from my eyes

I walk into my apartment. It's too quiet. What if it's like this forever? I wipe a stray tear from my face, not noticing it was there until it was halfway down.

Lord, somebody (somebody), ooh somebody
(Please) can anybody find me somebody to love?

Why can't I stop feeling like this? It makes me feel helpless and dumb. Like I should be more independent. But being alone was always one of my worst fears.

Everyday (everyday) I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy

I'm not the only person to think this way. Friends have told me to be stronger. To get over it. To stop being crazy, and just live life how it's handed to me. Easy for them to say when they feel complete.

They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Ah, got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe in
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I say I feel something is missing. "You're reading too much into it." They reply. Some friends huh?

Oh, Lord
Ooh somebody, ooh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(Can anybody find me someone to love)

Maybe it's my own barriers. Maybe I'm too broken. Maybe I'm to weak. I don't know. I just know that I hate being alone.

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (you just keep losing and losing)
I'm OK, I'm alright (he's alright, he's alright)
I ain't gonna face no defeat (yeah yeah)

But I won't let this win over me. I'll stand strong.

I just gotta get out of this prison cell
One day (someday) I'm gonna be free, Lord!

One day, I will feel love again. I'll feel loved and happy and fulfilled. I just need to figure out how.

Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love

It's not that I'm desperate.

Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love

I just need it.

Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love

I miss that warm feeling you get

Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love love love

Because it's cold inside

Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love

Maybe I need help?

Somebody somebody somebody somebody
Somebody find me

Can anyone help me?

Somebody find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(Find me somebody to love)
Ooh

Maybe it's a lost cause.

(Find me somebody to love)
Find me somebody, somebody (find me somebody to love) somebody, somebody to love

But maybe it isn't.

Find me, find me, find me, find me, find me
Ooh, somebody to love (Find me somebody to love)

The next morning is Sunday. I decide to go for a walk. Maybe it'll help me clear my head a bit. It's not long though, before I get rammed by another body.

Ooh (find me somebody to love)
Find me, find me, find me somebody to love (find me somebody to love)

"I'm so sorry, let me help you." A slightly accented voice says. I look up to see an attractive man. He pushes his sandy colored hand from his eyes. His striking blue eyes. Whoa! He lends me a hand, helping me stand. "I'm Joel." He says once I've stood. "Uh, (Y/n)." He flashes me a smile that makes me blush a little.

Anybody, anywhere, anybody find me somebody to love love love!

"I'm sorry I knocked you over. Can I buy you a coffee to make up for it?" He asks nervously. I smile. "I'd like that." Maybe, I got what I asked for.

Somebody find me, find me somebody to love
