Like You

I’m tired of waking up every day
Looking myself in the mirror and wishing I didn’t see any part of you
Any part of you left in me
And I’m sick of fighting this sweltering pain inside myself

I tell myself every day I’m gonna shake off
Gonna retrain everything you tried to beat into my brain
My heart, my soul, it thrives to never be like you

There’s things I know I need to work on
Being cold all the time is something I need to leave behind
I gotta focus on a future where I use my full mental mind and I know

It’s gonna burn like hell, hurt like hell
There ain’t nothing like letting your pride down, well
I’m about to prove to you I’ll never be like you
No, I’ll never be like you

So I’ll push forward, try to be better
Show a side of me that no one will know how to weather
I’ll prove to myself, I’m not like you
Break my borders, won’t take cover
I’ll start a blaze that you can’t smother
I won’t be anything like you

I’m over being trapped inside this rage that resembles a cage
I know I’m capable of far more then your memories will let me prove
I wish I could let go of you

And I’m still trying to figure it out
How to let go and take the steps to letting you know
I’m not doing this for you, as much as you wish that were true

It’s gonna burn like hell, hurt like hell
There ain’t nothing like letting your pride down, well
I’m about to prove to you I’ll never be like you
No, I’ll never be like you

So I’ll push forward, try to be better
Show a side of me that no one will know how to weather
I’ll prove to myself, I’m not like you
Break my borders, won’t take cover
I’ll start a blaze that you can’t smother
I won’t be anything like you

And as hard as I know I’ve gotta try
I’ll break through and come out the other side
Better than you ever thought I would
I’ll mature and let things go
I’ll move on and learn to grow
But in the end, you’ll be nothing but alone

And I’m sick of fighting this sweltering pain inside myself

So I’ll push forward, try to be better
Show a side of me that no one will know how to weather
I’ll prove to myself, I’m not like you
Break my borders, won’t take cover
I’ll start a blaze that you can’t smother
I won’t be anything like you

I will push forward
I won’t take cover

So I’ll push forward, try to be better
Show a side of me that no one will know how to weather
I’ll prove to myself, I’m not like you
Break my borders, won’t take cover
I’ll start a blaze that you can’t smother
I won’t be anything like you

I’ll set fire to all the memories I have of you
I’ll never be like you, no
