[Verse 1]
I slipped down the stairs
Tripped over your fragile ego
I slid down the hallway
Right into the web you'd woven

[Chorus]
And you never said
That you meant to save someone
Somebody just like me
And you never told me
You wanted to love someone
Somebody just like me

[Verse 2]
You locked all the doors
You felt it was safer that way
You put up a wall
And now your whole world is caving in

[Chorus]
And you never said
That you meant to save someone
Somebody just like me
And you never told me
You wanted to love someone
Somebody just like me

[Verse 3]
You swallow your pride as
You left behind
Counting stars to name your lies
You let the rain
Push you away
And now you're drowning in the waves

[Chorus]
Yeah
And you never said
That you meant to save someone
Somebody just like me
And you never told me
You wanted to love someone
Somebody just like me

[Outro]
And you never told me
You wanted to love someone
Somebody just like
Somebody just like me
And you never said
That you meant to save someone
Like me
Somebody just like me

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
