Like You
Pacific Dub Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Overtime I can't define all that has been sacrificed
You know, now I know
It's hard to see it's hard to breathe
when everything is such a sin
when two do, when two do
I wish that i could be like you
you were the way I do
When I couldn't find a way you were there to take me through
How those were the days now I'm trying to be like you




When I couldn't find a way you were there to take me through
How those were the days now I'm trying to be like you
