People Like Me Lyrics

What would you rather me do

Be just like them or but just like you

What should I say

To make these thoughts go away

Cos Melbourne's getting much smaller

And I'm not getting any taller

Should I smile

Or stay asleep for a little while

Cos I've got all my names in all the wrong files

And I've got all my skin in all the wrong piles

And i've got all this spit in my throat that's turning into bile

And people like me we're not anything like you

Despite what you think I don't wanna be anything like you

You see me I'm just trying to make it through

And people like me

It's been raining all Summer

I've been pulling a runner

Not trying to make things hard

Just trying to get far.. Away

I've been getting further away

From wanting to go but don't want to stay

Cos there's been too much rain

And I've got all my clothes in the back of my car

Despite what you think I'm not trying to make things hard

Cos I got all this fight but you won't believe me until you see the scars

And people like me we're not anything like you

Despite what you think I don't wanna be anything like you

You see me I'm just trying to make it through

And people like me

Oh

The passion burnt behind my eyes

And time went slow but now it flies

And the edges get a little rougher still

Rage and empathy are numb

Your mind is old but mine is young

But nothing's ever full until its filled

The men they came with boots and beer

And what they wanted was quite unclear

But they tried to make it white that once was brown

I see them there behind your eyes

the ghost that scratch and then they lie

That haunting feels like healing this far down

And I want it to be simple

But It's still unclear

And I wanted to be there

But I'm still here

Despite what you think I'm not trying to make this hard

Despite what you think I'm not trying to make this hard
