"People Like You" lyrics - CHRISTINA PERRI

[Intro:]
Ah, ah-ah-ah

I wish I could love you like
Wish I could love you like I'll stay
I keep makin' promises
I keep makin' promises I'll break
If I'm bein' honest
Do you want me to be honest?
Do you want me to pretend that we're okay?
I wish I could love you like
Wish I could love you like I'll stay

[Chorus:]
People like me don't get people like you
'Cause people like you get hurt
People like you don't get people like me
'Cause people like me get worse
So I keep you holdin' on
Just in case I got it wrong
And I know your perfect heart is gonna break
But you love me anyway

I wish I could love just like
Wish I could love just like you do
I build walls around my heart
The kind of walls you don't get through
Should we turn this ship around
Before we both go down?
Should we just float here forever in the blue?
I wish I could love just like
Wish I could love just like you do

[Chorus:]
People like me don't get people like you
'Cause people like you get hurt
People like you don't get people like me
'Cause people like me get worse
So I keep you holdin' on
Just in case I got it wrong
And you know your perfect heart is gonna break
But you love me anyway (Ah, ah-ah-ah)

[Post-Chorus:]
You love me anyway (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
You love me anyway (Ah, ah-ah-ah)
Love me anyway (Ah, ah-ah-ah)

[Outro:]
People like me don't get people like you
'Cause people like you get hurt
