Just Like You

Verse 1

I traced your footsteps through the pouring rain,

Borrowed your smile to hide my pain,

Every mirror says I should change too,

Until I disappear inside of you.

Pre-Chorus

If I could wear your heart somehow,

I'd leave behind the girl I am now,

Maybe then I'd finally belong.

Chorus

I really want to be just like you,

And say and do everything you do,

I love you more than life, yes I do,

Every dream I dream begins with you,

I wish your world could become mine too.

Post-Chorus

Your shadow feels safer than my own,

Without you I feel so alone,

I'm chasing a life that isn't mine.

Verse 2

Your photographs cover every wall,

I answer your voice with every call,

The more I follow, the less I see,

Whatever was left inside of me.

Pre-Chorus

I keep reaching for your light,

Trying to make your future mine,

Hoping you'll somehow understand.

Chorus

I really want to be just like you,

And say and do everything you do,

I love you more than life, yes I do,

Every dream I dream begins with you,

I wish your world could become mine too.

Post-Chorus

Your shadow feels safer than my own,

Without you I feel so alone,

I'm chasing a life that isn't mine.

Bridge

Maybe one day you'll turn around,

And hear my voice above the crowd,

But if I lose the girl I knew,

Will there be anything left that's true?

Verse 3

The crowd cheers every move you make,

While I copy every step I take,

Still my heart keeps asking why,

My own dreams slowly pass me by.

Pre-Chorus

I don't know who I'm meant to be,

Your reflection looks back at me,

While my own fades into gray.

Chorus

I really want to be just like you,

And say and do everything you do,

I love you more than life, yes I do,

Every dream I dream begins with you,

I wish your world could become mine too.

Post-Chorus

Your shadow feels safer than my own,

Without you I feel so alone,

I'm chasing a life that isn't mine.

Verse 4

One quiet morning I finally see,

No one else can ever be me,

Your light inspired my heart to grow,

But now it's time to let mine show.

Pre-Chorus

I'll keep the lessons that you gave,

But I don't have to be your name,

My story's waiting to be told.

Chorus

I really want to be just like you,

And say and do everything you do,

I love you more than life, yes I do,

You'll always be the star I look to,

But now I'll learn to be me too.

Post-Chorus

Thank you for helping me believe,

The greatest gift is being me,

Your light helped mine begin to shine.

I'm so gone... I'm so gone... I'm so gone

I'm so gone... I'm so gone... love
