So here's the other song I was going to post to depress both my readers on That Accursed Holiday.
Richard Marx - Someone Special
I've lived my life in a single room
Hiding my scars from the moon
I dream my dreams in the light
Rehearse the lines I already know
Basking in the tvs glow
And pray that tonight is the night
Ooh, theres gotta be more than this
A future hanging on a strangers kiss
Could it be I'm not so alone
I'm Someone Special
I'm just in disguise
I may not be perfect
In everyone's eyes
It may not be tomorrow
But I still believe
There's Someone Special
Waiting out there for me
I guess the joke hasn't hit me yet
Cause I'm still waiting on my Juliet
She must be held up somewhere
Ooh, she will be the air I breathe
She'll come for good and never want to leave
And I'll love her only, I swear
People say there must be something wrong
For me to be all alone so long
And their words hit me like a stone
I'm Someone Special
I'm just in disguise
I may not be perfect
In everyone's eyes
It may not be tomorrow
But I still believe
There's Someone Special
Waiting out there for me
Lying in bed in a cold, cold sweat
Dreaming bout women I'll never get
I wont always be sleeping alone
I'm Someone Special
I'm just in disguise
I may not be perfect
In everyone's eyes
It may not be tomorrow
But I still believe
There's Someone Special
Waiting out there for me

As with most of Mr. Marx's work, I listen to it and I'm of half a mind to slap him and say "Be a man, Richard!" Lots about "my pain" and similar themes, and it draws the same reaction as when I listen to anything My Chemical Romance.
Ignore the verses, and the chorus really stand out. 8 lines, and it wraps up hope, loneliness, despair, love, a whole lot of emotions, and does so simply and with some very interesting phrasing. "I'm someone special/I'm just in disguise." That's twisting of a phrase right there.
