“Like To Be You” lyrics by Shawn Mendes were written about not wanting to be the person he was back then. He was trying to be someone that he thought was better, more mature, and more controlled. He wanted to go back to being the person he was before his life changed. He didn’t want to be on the other side of the spectrum.
“Like To Be You” by Shawn Mendes Lyrics
Don’t cry, or do whatever makes you feel comfortable
I’m tired, too
There’s nothin’ left to say, let’s call a truce
‘Cause I don’t really wanna go to bed like this
I’m so sorry
That we’re still stuck in the middle
I’m so sorry
‘Cause in the moment I
I don’t know what it’s like to be you
I don’t know what it’s like but I’m dying to
If I could put myself in your shoes
Then I know what it’s like to be you
Can I kiss you or not?
‘Cause I’m not really sure right now of what you want
Are you still mad at me? I’m hopin’ not
‘Cause maybe we could go to the movies
I know that always cheers us up, hey
I’m so sorry
Though we’re still stuck in the middle
Yeah, I’m so sorry
‘Cause in the moment I
I don’t know what it’s like to be you
I don’t know what it’s like but I’m dying to
If I could put myself in your shoes
Then I know what it’s like to be you
Tell me what’s inside of your head
No matter what you say I won’t love you less
And I’d be lying if I said that I do
I don’t know what it’s like to be you
I don’t know what it’s like to be you
I get worried
I might lose you a little
Every time we
Every time we argue and get caught up in the moment
I don’t know what it’s like to be you
I don’t know what it’s like but I’m dying to
If I could put myself in your shoes
Then I know what it’s like to be you
So tell me what’s inside of your head
No matter what you say I won’t love you less
And I’d be lying if I said that I do
I don’t know what it’s like to be you
I don’t know what it’s like to be you
I don’t know what it’s like
