Analysis of To be you
I wan't to be just like you
Want to be loved like you
For you everything is simple
But i'm here stuck in the middle
Because everyday, every minute
I just hope that i'll reach the summit
smile at everyone all day
never hide what you want to say
it's a dream to far from me
it's hope to become free
You have the smarts
You have the looks
You just have the perfection
you don't even need the attention
I wish i could be like you
I wish i could be just like you
so simple and loved
always beloved
the ideal affection
the ideal perfection
I know you don't mean it but it hurts everyday
I knnow you don't know it but I hope everyday
that someday i'll be you
You act like you're sad
and I don't even know why
you act like you're mad
and i just want to cry
Sometimes I say sorry
and you tell me to stop
you tell me you love me
but i know you will stop
I always feel like
i'm the second choice now
I thought we were alike
But i don't even know how
And i just want to tell you
that i will just love you
no matter how i act
i will always be back
