People Like Us

You and me

Took the hard road babe

The one less traveled 

The only one not paved

This song was

It was meant to say

That we overcame

Everything in our way

But the Universe

It had other plans

The words only came

As it slipped through our hands

People like us try so hard

Against all the odds

And despite who we are

People like us won’t believe

In fairytales

Cause we’re all that we need

All we needed to trust

But no time is right

For people like us

You and me

Took the hard road babe

Full of twists and turns

Leading us astray

We dove in

With our gloves on

It was worth the fight

Cause our love was strong

So damn good

Till it got so bad

That we lost our way

Lost sight of all we had

Cause people like us try so hard

Against all the odds 

And despite who we are

People like us don’t believe

In fairytales

Cause we’re all that we need

All we needed to trust

Guess no time is right

For people like us

Though our love ain’t from

Harlequin pages 

Complicated and messy

Was one for the ages

Thought you were the one

Bet my life on it

I’m not one to dream 

But I let myself want it

At least we can say

Can say that we tried

To live in our truth

But sometimes hearts lie

People like us, we begin

Playing the game

Thinking one day we’ll win

People like us walk the line

Of love and hate

Say we’re doing just fine

People like us always choose

To fight the fight

Whether we win or lose

Or we’re against the rope

And dreams turn to dust

No, I won’t lose hope

For people like us
