"More Like You" lyrics

"More Like You"

I love the way you sing
Oh, I've been trying to copy every word you say

I love the way you think
You have this way of knowing it'll be ok

Where'd you get that confidence from?
Cause you wear it like a coat
All this feeling second best
Oh, it's got me by the throat
I know
That I've been obsessing in the worst way

Oh, I heard it from a woman on the internet
She told me to eat well and try to love myself
Then maybe I won't wish that I was someone else
(Tell me how)
(Tell me how)
To be more like you

Look I don't wanna fight
No I just wanna swap our bodies for a day

Imagine I could drive
With the top down
Back and forth across LA

And every time she mentions your name
She says it like a prayer
Getting caught up on the syllables
I wish I didn't care
But no
Maybe I'm the one she had to outgrow

Oh, I heard it from a woman on the internet
She told me to eat well and try to love myself
Then maybe I won't wish that I was someone else

Oh, I know that I've been flirting with the enemy
But please don't be so perfect right in front of me
I think of all the things that I will never be
(Tell me how)
(Tell me how)
Tell me how to be more like you

Be more like you
Be more like you
Be more like you
To be more like you
Be more like you
Be more like you
Be more like you

And look
It's true, true, true, true
I got these insecurities
They're all mine, there's nothing you can do

And look
It's true, true, true, true
The other day I caught myself just looking at pictures of you

You
You
You
You
You

I heard it from a woman on the internet
She told me to live a life of no regret
So maybe I won't take you on as such a threat
(Tell me how)
(Tell me how)

I know that I've been flirting with the enemy
But please don't be so perfect right in front of me
I think of all the things that I will never be
(Tell me how)
Tell me how to be more like you

Be more like you
Be more like you
Be more like you
To be more like you
Be more like you
Be more like you
Be more like you
