So I wrote a song called Just Like You a few months ago. After a few conversations with the la...
[Verse 1]
It's the guy from the one band
Cigarette in my left hand
Whole world in my right hand
Twenty-five and it's all planned
Night out and it's ten grand
Headlines that I can't stand
[Pre-Chorus]
But you only get half of the story
The cash and the cars and the glory
No sleep and we party 'til morning
'Cause nobody cares when you're boring
[Chorus]
I'm just like you
Even though my problems look nothing like yours do
Yeah, I get sad too
And when I'm down I need somebody to talk to
Yeah, I feel the same as you do
Same stress, same shit to go through
I'm just like you
If you only knew
[Verse 2]
If I had it my way, pub lunch every Sunday
Cheap beer and it's okay
I wanna lay where she lays
I wanna stay in these days
Gonna smoke and it's okay
[Pre-Chorus]
But you only get half of the story
The cash, and the cars and the glory
Just like everyone else here before me
'Cause nobody cares when you're boring
[Chorus]
I'm just like you
Even though my problems look nothing like yours do
Yeah, I get sad too
And when I'm down I need somebody to talk to
Yeah, I feel the same as you do
Same stress, same shit to go through
I'm just like you
If you only knew
[Post-Chorus]
I'm just like you
When I'm down I need somebody to talk to
I'm just like you
When I'm down I need somebody to talk to
[Bridge]
Every heart breaks the same
Every tear leaves a stain
Can I just be the same?
Every heart breaks the same
Every tear leaves a stain
Let me be the same
[Chorus]
I'm just like you
Even though my problems look nothing like yours do
Yeah, I get sad too
And when I'm down I need somebody to talk to
Yeah, I feel the same as you do
Same stress, same shit to go through
I'm just like you
If you only knew
[Post-Chorus]
I'm just like you
When I'm down I need somebody to talk to
I'm just like you
When I'm down I need somebody to talk to
I'm just like you
When I'm down I need somebody to talk to
I'm just like you
[Outro]

There’s one song I’m really attached to called ‘Just Like You,’ which is all about this view of celebrities that we’re impenetrable and almost not human, but fundamentally we all have the same problems. Heartbreak feels the same, loss feels the same, all these feelings are the same for all of us. Mi...
