Somebody Like Me

Few things you know if you were raised like me
There's things you say and things that you keep
Locked down inside 'til you're six feet deep
Brought up to act tough and numb that pain
Got scars that we're supposed to drink away
Best at pretending we're okay
But I know somewhere

There's another struggle on the inside
Another trouble mind from a town like mine
Taught not to speak up, don't know who'd believe ya

Three chords and the truth is
I've been going through this for a while
So scared to do this
Been hiding all my weakness with a smile
No, it ain't country being hurt this deep
Where the light won't reach but there's got to be
Some, some, somebody like
Some, some, somebody like me
Some, some, somebody like
Some, some, somebody like me

Got thoughts I don't want inside my head
Some days I can't even leave this bed
Still can't admit when I'm just depressed
How many out there been in these boots
How many souls giving up too soon
How many more do we have to lose
Cause I know somewhere

There's another fire on the inside
Of a troubled mind praying hard
They'll find somebody like us
I guess I'm living proof cause

Three chords and the truth is
I've been going through this for a while
So scared to do this
Been hiding all my weakness with a smile
No, it ain't country being hurt this deep
Saying words like these but there's got to be
Some, some, somebody like
Some, some, somebody like me
Some, some, somebody like
Some, some, somebody like me

We tried being quiet and it killed us quietly
Sparing our reputations and hoping to beat it silently
Avoiding conversations about depression and anxiety
Like you can't ask for help in a southern society
But I'm here to tell you that you're not alone
We could ride together down this dark backroad
You might not ever know what your story means
To somebody like me

Some, some, somebody like
Some, some, somebody like me
No, it ain't country being hurt this deep
But there's got to be
Some, some, somebody like (yeah)
Some, some, somebody like me

Some, some, somebody like
Some, some, somebody
Somebody like me
