Some People’s Lives (2008) Janis Ian

[Verse 1]
Some people's lives
Run down like clocks
One day they stop
That's all they've got
Some lives wear out
Like old tennis shoes
No one can use
It's sad, but it's true

[Chorus]
Didn't anybody tell them?
Didn't anybody see?
Didn't anybody love them
Like you love me?

[Verse 2]
Some people's eyes
Fade with their dreams
Too tired to rise
Too tired to sleep
And some people laugh
When they need to cry
And they never know why

[Chorus]
Didn't anybody tell them
That's not how it has to be?
Didn't anybody love them
Like you love me?
