Ed Sheeran - Be Like You Lyrics






And happy days
That left us on the floor
And you breathe me
[Acoustic version:] And you squeeze me
'Til you're not feeling sure

Everything will brighten up
If we go to Brighton
I'll take you along the Pier
Everything will lighten up
if you feel too frightened
[Acoustic version:] And if you feel too frightened
I'll make things disappear, dear

Darling, don't be nervous
I'll understand if you let me go
I did this on purpose
Now, 'cause when I'm missing you

I'll stop eating food
And I'll squeeze into a dress
So I can be like you
And then I'll see your bitterness
And why you're leaving too
Maybe, I'll put you to a test
And say that I love you
I think that I love you

And sunny days
That left my skin dark red
And you squeeze me
[Acoustic version:] And you breathe me
'Til these thoughts leave my head

If it gets too complicated
I'll give up and be frustrated
Can you see what's wrong?
If you feel like you've been hated
[Acoustic version:] If you feel like you've been jaded and
This love's too overrated
See what's going on, mmm

Darling, don't be nervous
I'll understand if you let me go
I did this on purpose
Now, 'cause when I'm missing you

I'll stop eating food
And I'll squeeze into a dress
So I can be like you
And then I'll see your bitterness
And why you're leaving too
Maybe, I'll put you to a test
And say that I love you
I think that I love you

Take me back to live at home
Take me back to Albert Road

Now, I'm missing you
[Acoustic version:] 'Cause when I'm missing you

I'll stop eating food
And I'll squeeze into your dress
So I can feel like you
But then I saw your bitterness
[Acoustic version:] And then I'll see your bitterness
And why you left me too
I thought I'd put you to a test
And say that I love you
I think that I love you

And I'll stop eating food
And I'll squeeze into your dress
So I can feel like you
But then I saw your bitterness
[Acoustic version:] And then I'll see your bitterness
And why you left me too
I thought I put you to a test
And say that I love you
Now it seems you loved me too

  16. D.... ....

    this is the best ed

  17. O.... 1....

    To me this song speaks volumes on my eating disorder

  18. C.... G....

    I think his insecure ex thought a perfect boyfriend and a perfect body would make her feel valued. Her insecurity would torture him because she would take it out on him. She liked how she could control her weight by not eating, and I think she felt in control of her reputation when she broke up with ed, a gifted hipster who did not fit in with average people. She relied on him to feel good until she started seeing him as human. Then, his flaws made her even more insecure even though every single person has flaws.

  19. J.... W....

    I wish I had someone who loves me like Ed Sheeran loved the woman this song is about.

    cause u are a tard

  38. L.... B....

    2017 ♡

  39. H.... ....

    I only just now realize what he means by "I'll give up and be frustrated, can you see what's wrong" Isn't that signs of anxiety? And "I'll stop eating food, and i'll squeeze into a dress". I think maybe the dress is the people's standards, and the standards is to not be "fat". People are so mean >:(

    H.... ....

    Lol i just did a lyric explanation to this song... check it out

  40. V.... V....

    I like how this song seems light hearted and the lyrics are playful. It doesn't take itself too seriously and isn't too melodramatic, but at the same time depicts deep and serious emotions well.

  41. N.... x....

    Hands down my favorite song of his to this day.

  42. M.... N....

    This song makes me feel nostalgic yet hopeful

    🎶 Darling dont be nervous, I'll understand if u let me go 🎶

  64. J.... F....

    my favorite Ed song

  65. F.... 2....

    hear this song at work a few years ago, been stuck in my head for days... finally found it!

  66. I.... 1....

    change the speed into 1.25 AWESOME

  67. O.... B....

    I'm going through all of Ed's old songs, the ones that made me fall in love with him and music in the first place, and they make me feel just like I did when I first heard them 5 years ago. This was one of my favourites, I loved them all, but this and a few others just really got to me 5 years ago. It's 4 in the morning, I haven't been to sleep yet but I just can't get over how amazing Ed has always been.

    O.... B....

    Me too.

    O.... B....

    Orianna Bampoe I agree with you ♡

    O.... B....

    Oriana Bampoe, I AGREE WITH YOU 💕

  68. E.... N....

    piano in the chorus makes me so excited omg idk why

  69. N.... n....

    reminds me a little bit to Tom Feltons Music

  70. E.... S....

    Am I the only one who can hear a girl singing with Ed (in a very low voice) from 3:17 till the end? If you concentrate while listening, you might realize it. 🙅🏻☺️😊😻😸😜

  71. A.... J....

    Do none of you have any idea what this song is about? It's about eating disorders (specifically anorexia though) I mean he literally says "I'll stop eating food and I'll squeeze into a dress" what did you all think that meant

    A.... J....

    Songs like this are the reason I will always love his first album more than anything else he's ever put out

    A.... J....

    The same.
    He loves someone who cant love herself, and thats a really rough thing.
    I actually think is a girl with a eating disorder, just like you say.

    A.... J....

    It's really not. He's saying, when/if she leaves him and he starts missing her, he'll stop eating food, because he's upset and to "squeeze into a dress" and "squeezing into a dress" is putting himself in her shoes, so he can see why she left him etc. Hence the next verse.. and maybe even feeling like her will stop him missing her.

    A.... J....

    I like to imagine that :)
