Something Like Me Lyrics by Staind

The Illusion of Progress

2008

[Verse 1]
Shards and broken pieces, shattered on the floor
Not smart enough to leave
Tears and angry voices, and cracks around the door
But no apologies

[Chorus 1]
But every time you say you love me
I still have to stop and catch my breath
How could somebody love something like me
If you could only say you're sorry
There's nothing in this world I can't forget
Waiting here for you to set me free

[Verse 2]
Toys and colored pencils, scattered on the floor
Underneath my feet
Crying over nothing, always wanting more
Never go to sleep

[Chorus 2]
But every time you say you love me
I just have to stop and catch my breath
How could somebody love something like me
And every time I feel I'm falling
You'll be there to save me from myself
Little angel watching over me

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
The taxi's in the driveway, my bags are at the door
And it still kills me to leave

[Chorus 3]
But every time you say you love me
I just have to stop and catch my breath
How could somebody love something like me
And every time I feel I'm falling
You're the ones that save me from myself
You give me something to believe

[Outro]
And with you here, these cracks and tears
Fade away
