Baker Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sunny outside, can't blame it on the weather
Nobody to call and I can feel the pressure
Burning all the pleasure
I could kill you with my words but you're tough as leather
Turn my nouns to verbs and get to know you better
Reversing all my curses into love letters
Into love letters
Didn't like you 'cause I'm just like you
Wantin' to prove it's not true
But I guess I'm imperfect too
I thought that we were close but you turned your back
When you knew I was having a heart attack
When you got too close, when you loved me back
See, that's why I'm just like you, I'm just like you
Thought I was a saint until that holy water
Mirrored your reflection got me thinkin' smarter
Saw myself in you, I swear I would have fought her
Turn the hate I harbour into lovin' harder
I thought that you were so cruel
Didn't like you 'cause I'm just like you
Wantin' to prove it's not true
But I guess I'm imperfect too
I thought that we were close but you turned your back
When you knew I was having a heart attack
When you got too close, when you loved me back
See, that's why I'm just like you, I'm just like you
Maybe it's too late to try but I'll try to be better
Maybe it's too late this time but this time I'll be better
I thought that you were so cruel
Didn't like you 'cause I'm just like you
Wantin' to prove it's not true
But I guess I'm imperfect too
I thought that we were close but you turned your back
When you knew I was having a heart attack
When you got too close, when you loved me back
See, that's why I'm just like you, I'm just like you
I'm just like you
I'm just like you
You know sometimes the people, that you
You think are the worst people in the world
Are the people who are most like you
And really it's yourself that you have a problem with
And you're bringing it out on this other person
So, you don't have to dislike that person anymore
Worst people in the world are the people who are most like you
Baker Grace’s song Like You is about self-reflection and coming to terms with the fact that sometimes our own flaws and insecurities can cause us to project our fears and doubts onto others. The song begins with the singer feeling alone and under pressure, with no one to talk to. She realizes that she could use her words to hurt someone, but instead chooses to use them to get to know the person better, and to turn negative thoughts into positive ones. The chorus addresses the realization that the person she once thought was the worst person in the world is actually someone she relates to on a deeper level, and that the flaws she sees in them are actually within herself as well.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that she is imperfect and capable of making mistakes, just like the person she once hated. She sees similarities between herself and the person she once disliked, and this leads her to greater self-awareness and empathy. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer acknowledging that it may be too late to repair the damaged relationship, but that she will try to be a better person going forward.
Overall, Like You is a powerful and relatable song about self-reflection, empathy, and the realization that sometimes the people we think are the worst are actually a reflection of ourselves.

You know sometimes the people, that you
There are times when the people you dislike
You think are the worst people in the world
Are those who you consider terrible human beings
Are the people who are most like you
Are actually the ones who share your own flaws and shortcomings
And really it's yourself that you have a problem with
Ultimately, the dislike you have for them is a reflection of the negative feelings you hold towards yourself
And you're bringing it out on this other person
You are projecting your own issues onto them
So, you don't have to dislike that person anymore
By recognizing this, you can let go of the negative feelings towards that person
Worst people in the world are the people who are most like you
Those who share your own flaws and shortcomings can be the ones you find most unpleasant, but it's important to recognize that this dislike comes from within yourself, not them
