Ed Sheeran – Be Like You Lyrics 12 years ago
I think this song can be translated a thousand different ways, but here's my opinion:

"Happy days
That left us on the floor
And you breathe me
Till you’re not feeling sure
Everything will brighten up
If we go to Brighton
I’ll take you along the Pier
Everything will lighten up
If you feel too frightened
I’ll make it disappear, dear"

Maybe they weren't exactly dating- just liked each other. Maybe the girl was unsure about the fame...He was saying he'll try to make it better for her.

"Darling, don’t be nervous
I’ll understand
If you’ll let me go
I did this on purpose
Now, when I’m missing you
I’ll stop eating food
And I’ll squeeze into a dress
So I can be like you
And then I’ll see your bitterness
And why you’re leaving too
Maybe, I’ll put you to a test
And say that I love you
I think that I love you"

Since supposedly they weren't dating, he was saying its okay if you decide you don't like me, but I want you to stay. The girl might have dealt with depression or self harm, or tried starving herself, so Ed was saying he'd try and feel like she did, and see from her viewpoint, but would say "I love you" to see if she'd stay.

"Sunny days
That left my skin dark red
You squeeze me
Till these thoughts leave my head
If it gets too complicated
I’ll give up and be frustrated
Can you see what’s wrong?
If you feel like you’ve been hated
This love’s too overrated
See what’s going on, on"

I think this might also be about the fame, and when he says "If it gets too complicated I’ll give up and be frustrated Can you see what’s wrong? If you feel like you’ve been hated This love’s too overrated" He might be saying that too much attention is brought to them even when their not dating...."this love's too overrated"

Toward the end lets suppose she left him, so he went into her shoes and saw why she didn't like the fame, or was scared by it.
