Just Like You

Got into work today and found this gem in my facebook stream. So, how could I not add it in.

"Just Like You" by Three Days Grace kinda sums up the way I feel at times. I could be like "you" those that live with their masks on so long that they eventually become reliant on it, yet despise it at the same time.

While I'll not be like that because it'll simply rob me of being me, I wonder how many people become that exact thing that they despise. I wonder how many are angry at having been so fake and so sorry for having lost out on being themselves. Of course this song is more of a dig at an individual, but for me it's more of a take on people that we know - possibly even just a single person too mind you.

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be
Just like you (Just like you)
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be
Just like you

I could be cold
I could be ruthless
You know I could be just like you

I could be weak
I could be senseless
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be
Just like you (just like you)
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be
Just like you

On my own, cause I can't take livin' with you
I'm alone, so I won't turn out like
You want me to

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be
Just like you (just like you)
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be
Just like you

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

Or, I could simply choose to be me.
