Just Like You
Harry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what it is, but I got this feeling
I don't know how I'm supposed to take control
And I know that you're trying to not let me feel it
But I know that you're trying to let me go
I've felt this way for a long time
And I know that you've felt it too but
I know you don't love me like you used to
And that you haven't for a while
But if you've got some time to spare
Could you just lie?
I can't control how I feel but I know I want you
I don't know how to say how much I do
And I know you don't want me to say I've caught you
But I know that you don't wanna stay here too
I've felt this way for a long time
And I know that you've felt it too
I know you don't love me like you used to
And that you haven't for a while
But if you've got some time to spare
Could you just lie?
If there's a chance
If we have time
If there's a chance I could change your mind
Could you be mine?
I know you don't love me like you used to
And that you haven't for a while




But if you've got some time to spare
Could you just lie?

Overall Meaning

Harry Styles' song "Just Like You" paints a picture of a person who is struggling with unrequited love. The lyrics suggest that the singer has feelings for someone who no longer feels the same way towards him, but he is still hoping for a chance to rekindle the love that he once shared with that person.


Throughout the song, Harry acknowledges his own vulnerability by admitting that he feels unable to control his emotions. He also implores the other person to lie to him if they have some extra time, perhaps indicating that he wants to hold onto the illusion that they can still be together. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and desperation, but not without a tinge of resignation.


Overall, "Just Like You" is a poignant and relatable piece that captures the sad reality of trying to hold onto a love that has already slipped away.


Line by Line Meaning

I don't know what it is, but I got this feeling
I can't explain it, but something inside me is telling me that something is not right


I don't know how I'm supposed to take control
I feel powerless and I don't know what to do to change the situation


And I know that you're trying to not let me feel it
You're trying to hide your true feelings from me so that I won't be hurt


But I know that you're trying to let me go
But at the same time, you're trying to detach yourself from our relationship


I've felt this way for a long time
I've been feeling this way for a while now


And I know that you've felt it too but
And I'm pretty sure that you've been feeling the same way, but


I know you don't love me like you used to
You don't love me the same way you did before


And that you haven't for a while
And it's been like that for a significant amount of time


But if you've got some time to spare
But if you have a moment to spare


Could you just lie?
Could you pretend that everything is okay, even if it's not?


I can't control how I feel but I know I want you
I can't help my feelings, but I know that I still want to be with you


I don't know how to say how much I do
I don't know how to express how much I love you


And I know you don't want me to say I've caught you
And I know that you don't want me to confess that I've caught feelings for you


But I know that you don't wanna stay here too
But I also know that you don't want to continue our relationship


If there's a chance
If there's any possibility


If we have time
If we can make time for each other


If there's a chance I could change your mind
If there's a chance that I can make you change your mind about our relationship


Could you be mine?
Would you consider being in a relationship with me?


I know you don't love me like you used to
I understand that you don't feel the same way about me anymore


And that you haven't for a while
And you've been feeling like that for a long time now


But if you've got some time to spare
But if you can spare some time


Could you just lie?
Could you pretend that everything is alright for a moment?

[Verse 1]
Holdin' me back
Gravity's holdin' me back
I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
Why don't we leave it at that?
Nothin' to say
When everything gets in the way
Seems you cannot be replaced
And I'm the one who will stay, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
As it was, as it was
You know it's not the same

[Verse 2]
Answer the phone
"Harry, you're no good alone
Why are you sitting at home on the floor?
What kind of pills are you on?"
Ringin' the bell
And nobody's coming to help
Your daddy lives by himself
He just wants to know that you're well, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
As it was, as it was
You know it's not the same

[Bridge]
Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet
I don't wanna talk about the way that it was
Leave America, two kids follow her
I don't wanna talk about who's doin' it first

[Outro]
(Hey)
As it was
You know it's not the same as it was
As it was, as it was

@JESUSCHRIST-ONLYWAYTOHEAVEN

JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT SO IF YOU REJECT HIM YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE WITHOUT GOD OR PEOPLE, YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, YOU WILL BE IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER!

GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!

MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/PRIEST/MARY OR SAINT DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE GODS DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ACTOR OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS!

JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY SOON (THESE ARE END TIMES) WITH JUDGEMENT! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! IT STARTS WITH ASKING HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS & INVITING HIM INTO YOUR HEART/LIFE, SURRENDER ALL TO HIM! IT'S ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CREATOR. HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!

Jesus answered, โ€œI am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6

"But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33

โ€œFor the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lordโ€-Romans 6:23

This song is like nostalgia embodied. It goes from melancholy to happy to sad and then jumbles up again, like those feelings of remembering past days, the good and bad, and then snapping back to the present. It makes me tear up and smile and want to dance and its all so much that it makes me so aware of being alive
