Someone Like You Lyrics

If I were strong enough, if I were wrong enough to be someone like you
Would you have let me come to be with you
If I had made my own and I had overcome to be someone like you
Would you have let me come to be with you

If I could be with someone like you
Would you, would you be strong enough for me
And if I could stay with someone like you
Would you, would you be strong enough

If I had made my way if I had chose to stay and be someone like you
Would you have let me come to be with you
If I had made myself become like someone else and be someone like you
Would you have let me come to be with you

If I could be with someone like you
Would you, would you be strong enough for me
And if I could stay with someone like you
Would you, would you be strong enough for me

Can you see me holding you right in my arms, right in my arms
If I could be with someone who's just like you
Would you, would you, would you be strong enough for me

If I could be with someone like you
Would you, would you be strong enough for me
And if I could stay with someone like you
Would you, would you be strong enough for me

I went through something quite similar to this... i pretty much think its about changing yourself in order to be good enough for someone.. "If I had made my way if I had chose to stay and be someone like you Would you have let me come to be with you If I had made myself become like someone else and be someone like you Would you have let me come to be with you"

I think its alot deeper but i'm just summing it up

i agree i think hes asking if he would have changed if the girl would then take him to be hers

he wants to be strong enough to be just like her. he sees that she is amazing in what she does and so he wants to be the best that he can be and be "someone like her"

You can download the free music video on iTunes through this week. The music video shows people doing good things, showing care for others and themselves.

From the first part: how can someone simultaneously be "strong enough" and "wrong enough"?

i think it's two different ways of looking at the situation. if he had been strong enough, he could have changed. but at that time, he didn't think he should have to change for her.

i think the song is wrestling with the idea of changing for someone vs staying true to who you are.

if she was strong enough for him, he wouldn't have needed to change. but if he was strong enough he could/would have changed.

yes i concur phray, that sounds good
