about

'Live Like Me' is the first single from Shrink Like Alice's debut album 'Apple in a Pear Tree'. The high energy, pop-punk track is a small taste of the diverse sound created by the band on the LP.

The song goes through the motions of searching for an identity after making a life changing decision. Even if the decision was a step in the right direction, it can be hard to come to terms with the person you were, and the person you are now.

lyrics

I'm not angry, I'm just sober
Did I crash or do you think we're getting older
So you say you made a big mistake
Another lie behind your face
I'm slowing down as fast as I can

I don't like how this feels
Being me is not as easy as it seems
I'll try eventually and then you'll see
I don't like how this feels
It's not that easy being me
I've tried and failed it was never meant to be

As she lies between my legs
And tells me how I should forget
The things she said
If I let her in my head
I think we'd be better off dead
Than let her live like me

I don't like how this feels
Being me is not as easy as it seems
I'll try eventually and then you'll see
I don't like how this feels
It's not that easy being me
I've tried and failed it was never meant to be
