Lyrics
You Remind Me of Myself
Words and Music by Lachlan Bryan
Well I always thought by your age I’d have settled down
And I imagine you’ve played all your cards by now
But you never cease to amaze
Maybe these will be your halcion days
Well it’s paper cuts and empty tea cups in her room
Didn’t think that she had even heard of you
And well it’s a stretch to be sure
But I hear her knocking at your door
You remind me of myself, but so much better
You’re like me, but so much better
I don’t see how you could ever live this down
Well I try not to repeat myself but yet again
I can see the darkness in the hearts of men
But I see the light in yours
And it makes me need you more
You remind me of myself, but so much better
You’re like me, but so much better
I don’t see how you could ever live this down
Are you bathing in the blood?
Or are you less human than the rest of us?
Did someone tell you something we don’t know
And the words that leave your tongue
Are they specifically for anyone?
And do you see in me the potential to grow?
Well I always thought by your age I’d have settled down
Packed away my riding boots and said my vows
Biut you took your foot off the brakes
I adore all of your mistakes
You remind me of myself, but so much better
You’re like me, but so much better
I don’t see how you could ever
I don’t see why you would ever
Please don’t ever, please don’t ever let me down
