What It's Like Lyrics
Do you know what it's like
When your world seems to change overnight
And it feels like the earth could break
Tell me, do you know what it takes
Stop my heart, don't let it break
Is it true that you did what you said
And it's hard for me to see you so far
And it's hard to see you for what you are
Do you know what it's like
When your world seems to change overnight
And it feels like the earth could break
Tell me, do you know what it takes
Hold me breath, hold me down
Take the hand of god and lead me to drown
And it's fine to say that it's not real
And maybe I won't run, and I won't feel
Do you know what it's like
When your world seems to change overnight
And it feels like the earth could break
Tell me, do you know what it takes
Heaven won't ever forgive
Making it hurt when you see my everyday
My everynight I hide, I hide
I say why
Do you know what it's like
When your world seems to change overnight
And it feels like the earth could break
Tell me, do you know what it takes
When your world seems to change overnight
And it feels like the earth could break
Tell me, do you know what it takes
Is it true that you did what you said
And it's hard for me to see you so far
And it's hard to see you for what you are
When your world seems to change overnight
And it feels like the earth could break
Tell me, do you know what it takes
Take the hand of god and lead me to drown
And it's fine to say that it's not real
And maybe I won't run, and I won't feel
When your world seems to change overnight
And it feels like the earth could break
Tell me, do you know what it takes
Making it hurt when you see my everyday
My everynight I hide, I hide
I say why
When your world seems to change overnight
And it feels like the earth could break
Tell me, do you know what it takes

The song speaks volumes to me about loss in one's life and the anger that can go with it. Maybe, more importantly, it attempts to find out if others can relate to your pain. I liked the original version of this song, but the Sneijder Remix really "hit it home" for me.
For me, the ultimate breakup song, breaking up with one's self. What "it" takes? your world.
