Everyone Like Me
Thousand Foot Krutch Lyrics

I've got a lot going on inside
I have a lot of thoughts, emotions and internal struggles that I am dealing with.

Don't know if I can work things out this time
I am unsure if I will be able to resolve my current issues and problems.

Need a little space to clear my mind
I require some time and distance from certain people, situations and environments to regain clarity and mental stability.

But I'll be fine
Despite my challenges and obstacles, I believe that I will eventually overcome them and feel better.

Don't slip, it's not always this cold
Be careful and avoid making mistakes or assumptions, especially when things appear tough or harsh.

I'm tired of acting like I know
I am exhausted from pretending to understand things that I really don't or from pretending to be someone I am not.

Am I searching for the answers
I am trying to find solutions, explanations or insights to my problems and questions.

No one knows
However, despite my efforts, I cannot find anyone who has the exact answers or solutions that I am seeking.

And I must confess
I have to be truthful and honest with myself and others about my feelings and experiences.

Before I take another step
Before I make any decisions, take any actions or move forward in my life, I need to acknowledge my situation and emotions.

This song's for everyone like me
This music is dedicated to people who are going through similar struggles, challenges and issues as I am.

Everyone not afraid to stand alone and lonely
This song is for individuals who are willing to embrace their uniqueness, independence and solitude, even if that means feeling lonely at times.

Can you identify with me?
Do you share some of my experiences, emotions and thoughts? Can you relate to my story and message?

Come and ride with me
Join me on this journey of self-discovery, growth and empowerment. Let's support each other and inspire each other.

We will not back down
Together, we will face our challenges, stand up for our beliefs and values, and confront our fears and doubts.

Wait
Hold on a moment.

It might not be too late
Perhaps there is still a chance to avoid conflict, misunderstanding or regret.

To avoid the tension we create
Let us make an effort to prevent awkwardness, discomfort or hostility in our interactions.

How about I turn and walk away?
Maybe it's better if I pause, reflect and retreat from the situation or conversation for a while.

No matter what you say
Regardless of your opinion, reaction or behavior, I will remain respectful and peaceful.

Its not a combination
It's not easy to understand you or to have a successful relationship with you.

I've tried to figure you out
I've attempted to comprehend your personality, motives and goals, but I cannot.

I'm looking for the confirmation
I am seeking evidence, proof or validation that you truly care about me or that things can improve between us.

So I can turn this around
I want to change our current dynamic, behavior or outcome into a more positive one, but I need your cooperation and commitment.

Every time I turn around
On multiple occasions.

You're looking for attention
You seek recognition, affection or validation from others and often behave in ways that draw their focus and approval.

You've taken all the things I've said and
You seem to disregard, dismiss or forget about all the advice, opinions or sentiments that I have expressed to you.

Throw them away
You discard or ignore them, as if they have no value or relevance to you.

Drank them away
You suppress or forget my words or feelings by using alcohol or other substances to escape reality.

Every time you show up late
Whenever you arrive or complete something later than expected or agreed upon.

You're looking for forgiveness
You are seeking my pardon or mercy for violating my trust, expectations or boundaries.

This song's for anyone whoever took a chance
This music is also dedicated to people who had the courage, audacity and resilience to pursue their dreams, even when the odds were against them.

Who started at the bottom to get to the top
This song celebrates individuals who began their journeys from humble or disadvantaged positions, but managed to achieve great success or recognition through hard work, patience and determination.

And no matter what you face in this life
Regardless of the obstacles, setbacks or challenges that you may encounter during your existence.

You gotta know what you're up against
You must be aware of your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and be prepared to adapt, learn and grow as needed.

In order to fight back
To overcome adversity, overcome injustices or resist oppression, you need to develop a strategic, positive and resilient mindset that allows you to persevere and thrive.

And lonely
The feeling of isolation or detachment is still present and relevant, but it can also be seen as a chance to rediscover oneself and to connect with others who share similar experiences or interests.
