Just Like You

Yeah, she sat me down one day and said
"Don't you want more than this?"
She had a clipboard in her hand and a twin set
And I thought to myself, "Did I leave the iron on when I left this morning?"
Guess I need some help with my mindset.
I spend most of my days in nothing
And nothing's what I'll be
If I don't get outta me.

It's all talk talk talk
In my day-to-day living
Giving a chance to the hopes I've got
And the folks back home.
And I'm feeling fine
Most of the time
But then I talk talk talk
And I'm on my own again.

Yeah, she had that look on her face when she said
"Isn't this a little bit, kind of, exactly like it was the last time?"
And I replied with a gleam in my eye,
"Why yes, it certainly seems to be."
With the hamster wheel going round and round in my mind
I spend most of my days in silence
And silent's what I'll be
If I don't get outta me.

It's all talk talk talk
In my day-to-day living
Giving a chance to the hopes I've got
And the folks back home.
And I'm feeling fine
Most of the time
But then I talk talk talk
And I'm on my own again.

I don't know where
I am going
Alls I know is
I'm not showing
Half of what they
Told me I had
Back when things weren't
Quite so bad.
This is what they
Tell me to be
More like them and
A lot less like me
Yes I need help
To fix the damage
But I've taken all
I can manage

Yeah, she showed me to the room with all the others
And she said, "They're all just like you"...
