See, I wanna drive off the freeway, hit a tree goin’ mach speed,
I could care less of what you think,
But see you really think this makes a difference, nah,
Everyone’s gonna cry for a few days,
Go back to work, n complain all day,
Few weeks after they gon’ be okay,
I was just like you (like you),
I was just like you (like you),
I was just like you,
Yeah, thinkin’ nobody really hear me when I speak,
Screamin’ in my head but I’m silent when we meet,
Actin’ like I’m strong, but I’m weak underneath,
Tryna hold it all together with some lies and a beat,
I was chasin’ validation, I was beggin’ for peace,
Lookin’ in the mirror like, “who the hell is he?”
I was numb to the love, yeah I felt it decrease,
Every night felt long, every breath felt cheap,
I was just like you, sayin’ “I’m fine” every time,
Smilin’ through the pain, yeah, I mastered the lie,
Pushin’ all my friends to the back of my mind,
Sayin’ “I don’t need help,” while I’m fallin’ inside,
Yeah, I wore the mask, yeah, I played my role,
Told myself the darkness was all I know,
Tryna fill a hole but it swallowed me whole,
I was just like you, yeah, losin’ control,
See, I thought disappearin’ would make it all stop,
Thought the pain would fade if my heart just dropped,
Didn’t think about the echoes or the calls they’d get,
Didn’t think about the “wish I would’ve said” regrets,
Yeah, I know that feelin’ when you’re stuck in your head,
When you replay every word that was left unsaid,
When you feel like a burden, like you’re better off dead,
I was just like you, yeah, I lived that dread,
I was just like you (like you),
Trapped in my thoughts, feelin’ lost, feelin’ used,
I was just like you (like you),
Tryna find a way out but I’m lost in the truth,
I was just like you,
Yeah, I know how it feels when the night won’t move,
Now I write it all down just to bleed on the page,
Turn the hurt into words, turn the pain into flame,
If you feel what I’m sayin’, yeah, then you ain’t strange,
You ain’t weak, you ain’t broken, you ain’t stuck this way,
I was just like you, swear I know that road,
Dark thoughts, fast nights, feelin’ this low,
If you hear this song and it hits you close,
Just know you ain’t alone — I was just like you.
