Annika Rose wrote “Just like you” at age 15 after an argument with her mother. She first posted it on her Tik-Tok account, and it gained so much popularity, she released the full demo onto Spotify. In a Tik-Tok she explained,
“I love her so much, but sometimes we’re so similar that our relationship...
[Verse 1]
Do you see you and me?
I'm the apple, you're the tree
You know I'll never fall too far from you
Just like when you were young
I'm the bullet, you're the gun
Taking shots across the living room
[Pre-Chorus]
You tell me I'm a liar
Well, that's so heartless
Yeah, I'll fight fire with fire
Look at what you started
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm gonna start a fight
In my toxic state of mind
Feeling like I got something to prove
I'm destructive, just like you
'Cause I learned it from the best
Lashing out when I'm a mess
I don't really mean to be so cruеl
But I hate the part of me that's just likе you
[Verse 2]
Now I'm up on my roof
Tryna get away from you
I just need somewhere to clear my mind
And that hurts me the most
When you turn into a ghost
I guess we both just need a place to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
You tell me I'm a liar
Well, that's so heartless
Yeah, I'll fight fire with fire
Look at what you started
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm gonna start a fight
In my toxic state of mind
Feeling like I got something to prove
I'm destructive, just like you
'Cause I learned it from the best
Lashing out when I'm a mess
I don't really mean to be so cruel
But I hate the part of me that's just like you
[Bridge]
I'm just like you
No, it's true
I'm just like you, you
Oh, I'm just like you
No, it's true
Just like you
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm gonna start a fight
In my toxic state of mind
Feeling like I got something to prove
I'm destructive, just like you
'Cause I learned it from the best
Lashing out when I'm a mess
I don't really mean to be so cruel
But I hate the part of me that's just like you
