Not Like You Lyrics

why do you insist that you are right and i am wrong?
i know i'm no jesus christ
but i'm no different than you
what if i was everything you wanted?
would you still point and laugh me?
i cried once but never again
not again
i am not like you
so you don't like me
i am not like you
you are so resistant
never listening to anything other than what's familiar
unfamiliar with everyone else
what if i was everything you wanted?
would you still point and laugh me?
i cried once but never again
not again
i am not like you
so you don't like me
i am not like you
what if i was everything you wanted?
would you still point and laugh me?
i cried once but never again
not again
i am not like you
so you don't like me
i am not like you
i am not like you
so you don't like me
i am not like you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song is awesome! I love Nick Coyle's voice. But I can relate to this song. Like the part that says "I am not like you...so you don't like me" I am not like a lot of people I know. But I don't care if nobody likes me a lot. It's their problem that they go ahead and decide they don't like me before they even know me! But who cares! lol Anywoo! Lifer kicks ASS!

This is about how people don't like someone because they are not like them. A lot of people are like that now days...
