Just Like You - Ricky Byrd

You hide in the shadows to keep out the pain

The light brings with all that rings true

This life you been livin' is a deal that you’ve made

Between the devil and you

To get to that feelin' of feelin' numb

There ain’t nothin' you won’t do

I know that you think you’re the only one

I was just like you

Oh yeah

I was just like you

Oh yeah

I was just like you

I made up my mind a thousand times

To stop my reckless way

But when it came time to not cross that line

I can still hear myself say

I got this, i’m good, it’s under control

What harm can a little taste do

A headful of denial beats logic every time

I was just like you

Oh yeah

I was just like you

Oh yeah

I was just like you

It’s always ended the same

On my knees in heart wrenching pain

I was ready to die

Cause livin this way was insane

I prayed for change

Change came

I know how you feel cause i’ve been there myself

Hopeless and helpless it seemed

Desperate for answers but without out a clue

How to live this life sober and clean

I reached out for someone to show me the way

Who’s gone through what i’ve gone through

He said right now you might not believe in miracles

I was just like you

Oh yeah

I was just like you

Oh yeah

I was just like you
