people like you

(album: a lighter shade of blue - 2022)

Ah, ah-ah-ah

I wish I could love you like, wish I could love you like I'll stay
I keep making promises, I keep making promises I'll break
If I'm being honest, do you want me to be honest?
Do you want me to pretend like we're okay?
I wish I could love you like, wish I could love you like I'll stay

People like me don't get people like you
'Cause people like you get hurt
People like you don't get people like me
'Cause people like me get worse
So I keep you holding on
Just in case I got it wrong
And know your perfect heart is gonna break
But you loved me anyway

I wish I could love just like, wish I could love just like you do
I build walls around my heart, the kind of wall you don't get through
Should we turn this ship around, before we both go down?
Should we just float here forever in the blue?
I wish I could love just like, wish I could love just like you do

People like me don't get people like you
'Cause people like you get hurt
People like you don't get people like me
'Cause people like me get worse
So I keep you holding on
Just in case I got it wrong
And know your perfect heart is gonna break
But you loved me anyway (Ah, ah-ah-ah)

You loved me anyway (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
You loved me anyway (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
Loved me anyway (Ah, ah-ah-ah)

People like me don't get people like you
'Cause people like you get hurt
