People like you

I saw somebody who

Reminded me of you

Before you got afraid

I wish that you could've stayed that way

I saw a little girl

I stopped & smiled at her

She screamed & ran away

It happens to me more and more these days

And these songs that you sing

Do they mean anything

To the people you're singing them to

People like you

I saw a photograph

A woman in a bath

Of hundred dollar bills

If the cold doesn't kill her, money will

I read a magazine

That said by seventeen

You life was at an end

I'm dead & I'm perfectly content

And these songs that you sing

Do they mean anything

To the people you're singing them to

People like you
