Girl Like Me
Unveiling Shadows: A Girl's Struggle with Expectations
Lyrics
Been alone for hours
Feeling lonely for an extended period
Staring in the shower
Reflecting on life while in the shower
Cared too much about what you thought of me
Concerned about others' opinions of oneself
Crashing all these parties
Attending social events and gatherings abruptly
Not used to Bacardi
Not accustomed to Bacardi (alcohol)
Do I fit the mold that you wanna see
Questioning if fitting into expected norms
Friends betraying friends shouldn't be a thing
Expressing disapproval of friends betraying each other
I feel like I'm here
Feeling present physically but emotionally detached
But all I wanna do is leave
Desiring to leave the current situation
Waking up tomorrow
Anticipating an unknown future day
To someone that I don't know
Expecting to wake up next to a stranger
That's what you would want from a girl like me
Meeting societal expectations for a girl like her
Reaching for my car keys
Reaching for car keys, suggesting a desire to escape
And people that I can't please
Unable to please certain people in her life
That's what you would want from a girl like me
Meeting societal expectations reiterated
From a girl like me
Reiteration of societal expectations for her
Wasted all of my time
Feeling time was wasted, overly focused on another's life
Fixated on your life
Obsessed with and absorbed in someone else's life
Listenin to stories endlessly
Listening to others' stories without end
Said I ruined your mood
Being blamed for ruining someone's mood
Act like you've got no clue
Pretending not to understand the situation
Only care depending on what you need
Realizing others only care based on their needs
Friends betraying friends shouldn't be a thing
Repeating disapproval of friends betraying each other
I feel like I'm here
Feeling present physically but emotionally detached, repetition
But all I wanna do is leave
Desiring to leave the current situation, repetition
Waking up tomorrow
Anticipating an unknown future day, repetition
To someone that I don't know
Expecting to wake up next to a stranger, repetition
That's what you would want from a girl like me
Meeting societal expectations for a girl like her, repetition
Reaching for my car keys
Reaching for car keys, suggesting a desire to escape, repetition
And people that I can't please
Unable to please certain people in her life, repetition
That's what you would want from a girl like me
Meeting societal expectations reiterated, repetition
From a girl like me
Reiteration of societal expectations for her, repetition
Oh I should just walk away
Contemplating walking away from the situation
But then I fall apart
Fearing emotional breakdown if she walks away
Nothing ever seems to change
Frustration with the lack of positive change
Don't wanna feel this way
Expressing a desire not to feel the current way
Waking up tomorrow
Anticipating waking up to an unfamiliar person
To someone that I don't know
Meeting societal expectations for a girl like her, repetition
That's what you would want from a girl like me
Reaching for car keys, suggesting a desire to escape, repetition
Reaching for my car keys
Unable to please certain people in her life, repetition
And people that I can't please
Meeting societal expectations reiterated, repetition
That's what you would want from a girl like me
Reiteration of societal expectations for her, repetition
That's what you would want
Reiteration of what others would want from her
That's what you would want
Repetition of what others would want from her
Tell me what you want
Seeking clarity on others' desires
That's what you would want
Repetition of what others would want from her
That's what you would want
-From a girl like me
Reiteration of societal
