Inspired by the singer’s toxic relationship, “Looks Like Me” is a pulsating, up-tempo track about breaking free from such a stressful and crushing situation.
The song combines Lewis’s powerful, almost haunting vocals, pounding acoustic guitar, and a rapid-fire hand clap that adds a percussive layer...
[Verse 1]
You've been working ten hours
And your feet are still aching
You tell your friends to come over
To forget about your problems
You say you talked to somebody
He even looks like me
Oh, baby, why do you say things
That make me believe
[Pre-Chorus]
That you're sorry, you're sorry
But you're not sorry at all?
I wonder, how could it hurt you?
You've got no feelings involved
And then I tell you I want you
And you say nothing at all
You say nothing at all
[Chorus]
'Cause I need someone who loves me
And I know it don't come easily
And maybe I'm just not good enough at all to feel your love
So, how am I supposed to let go
When you won't lеt me let go?
And maybe I'm just not good еnough at all to feel your love
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
And now I'm walking down Sunset
With my feelings on repeat
I wonder what you've been thinking
Oh, are you thinking 'bout me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you say that you love me
But you don't love me at all
I wonder, how could it hurt you?
You've got no feelings involved
And then I tell you I want you
And you say nothing at all
And you say nothing at all
[Chorus]
'Cause I need someone who loves me
And I know it don't come easily
And maybe I'm just not good enough at all to feel your love
So, how am I supposed to let go
When you won't let me let go?
And maybe I'm just not good enough at all to feel your love
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, to feel your love)
[Bridge]
You said, "Hey, I just wanna hear your voice"
I said, "Babe, you know that this was your choice"
You said, "Hey, I just wanna hear your voice"
I said, "Babe, you know that this was your choice"
But it means nothing at all
[Chorus]
'Cause I need someone who loves me
And I know it don't come easily
And maybe I'm just not good enough at all to feel your love
So, how am I supposed to let go
When you won't let me let go?
And maybe I'm just not good enough at all to feel your love
[Outro]
To feel your love
To feel your love
And maybe I'm just not good enough at all to feel your love
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) To feel your love
To feel your love
To feel your love

One of my favourite things about this song is every time I play it to people–they immediately start moving their body. Which is a totally new experience for me as a songwriter. It’s almost like keeping one foot on familiar ground and the other into stepping off a cliff. It was a chance for me to rea...
Five songs on this album are all about this one girl. This song [was written while I was] living at the Andaz Hotel on Sunset Boulevard. I would walk down Sunset Boulevard, and I’d go to [grocery store] Pink Dot and get a Red Bull and M&Ms, and I had my headphones on, and I’d just listen to all...
