Lyrics:
All it's been with other lovers
A necessary release
An automatic relief
A nagging will to be desired by anyone

All it's been with other lovers
A drunken night in each other
A touch of elbow in the crowd
When all abandon is allowed

I try to feel it with someone new
But all it does is remind me of you

All it's been with other lovers
I overwrite you for the night
An aftertaste of bitter fright
A crippling fear of growing old without you

All it's been with other lovers
I bury my hand into the sand
Abandon all these silly plans
Disguise myself into a dove
And make sure you think I'm in love with another

I try to feel it with someone new
But all it does is remind me of you
