Ed Sheeran - Be like you lyrics!

[@oriannabampoe4326]

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.

[@katherinethegrr8]

Preach

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

Me too.

[@monikakazinska7022]

Orianna Bampoe I agree with you ♡

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

Oriana Bampoe, I AGREE WITH YOU 💕

[@coltonfivecoats810]

Singing along makes you feel not alone

[@lexuhbee]

Ed Sheeran is a genius with lyrics.

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

Yeah, he's a genius with a wonderful voice, guitar and loop pedal.

[@azizben1687]

[@theone9288]

I have a feeling that he wrote his older songs straight from the heart with a lot of emotion embedded in them and nowdays he does more mainstream and that's ok but the difference is obvious

[@gabis314]

Mainstream sells more sadly and there’s nothing wrong with it but I do miss his old stuff a lot and my favorites are definitely from his older music

[@jaquenile]

But guys this only aply with the singles, for example the ÷ album has shape of you as a single (mainstream song etc) but the album also has songs like "supermarket flowers" and "save myself" that is so intimate and personal, even castle on the hill that is also a single too. People focus too much in one or two mainstream songs in the album and forget about the others 10 songs that is not

[@celmedx]

I was so obsessed with this song in 8th grade aww

[@sejb2002]

same :’(

[@sejb2002]

6 years ago now you look like such a woman makes me wonder how ur life has been 😭

[@bahiya94]

Me too !!

[@ryleeroc]

same..

[@zaddy131]

*flash forward to dressing up as Annie for Jimmy Kimmel* "I've squeezed into a dress so I could be like you" it all makes sense now

[@Thomas40718]

lol

[@OMGIGottaP]

I'm so curious about what you thought it was. 😅

[@fmrtas8099]

We, girls, sometimes have problems with our weight or body. 'I'll stop eating food' for the ones who have issues with eating disorders and weight problems... ( I think..?) 'And I'll squeeze into a dress so I can be like you' 'And then I'll see your bitterness....etc' When we don't feel confident about our body's, flaws and curves, he means, 'And I'll squeeze into a dress' like he will go through what you ( or she.) Is going through with her insecurity... and things that most people don't understand about being insecure.. Listen to the end of the song :) The song is basically about a woman her insecuritys and how (ed) would help her get over them, or feel the things she feels. Everyone is beautiful in there own way, So for the ones who don't understand what this song is about, I hope this cleares it up a bit. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me. And please don't mind my grammer, I'm just dutch 14 year old girl ! (not my acc btw)

[@agentvenom4769]

Now you're 19 verify your comment now lol

[@Itsmorganbby]

One of my favorites ever. I think this song isn't cute or sweet I think it's pretty twisted. I think he was in love with this girl he'd do anything for and then she leaves him. He misses he so much he starts to put himself in her shoes but then he sees how much of a bitter bitch she is and then he grows bitter too and she comes back for him once he's a duller person.

[@nipplelife2804]

I honestly never interpreted it that way, but now that I saw this, I love the song even more.

[@t0xtricity]

+Morgan Young Exactly how I see the song. I love it though, it's twisted in a good way.

[@chicken-rain]

I read almost the opposite. He loved her, and she left, but it's only after that, when he tries to see things from her perspective that he understands that is was him that made her bitter. It seems like neither one understood the other, he thought she didn't love him back, so was insecure and frustrated and because of the way that made him behave, she thought he didn't love her. It wasn't until he looked back that he realised she loved him too. The fact that the last line uses 'loved' in the past tense implies it was during their relationship, and the use of 'now' establishes that he only realises in the present, after the relationship ends.

[@invadermaythe1st]

I always saw this, but then I looked at the song again today and maybe it's about anorexia? I mean... he has to "stop eating food" and he see's her "bitterness" (which will come from not having a healthier lifestyle) and he asks to go back to Albert Road, which is probably where he lived her when he met her, or they met there. He states he did this on purpose, and maybe he did it so she would get help, and once she did she realised what he did and now she "loves me too".

[@elanishocklee9142]

the guy i loved left me like 2 months ago and he has a gf now... i mean i low key like someone else but i still like him

[@pizzaraccoon8202]

I'll never ever be bored of ed's old songs

[@pizzaraccoon8202]

[@fozeab22]

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

[@Sisterbear12]

at first i thought i wasnt going to get this song but it's really endearing & cute.

[@TheCrypticRed]

Well, he does have critics but they don't hate him. They just can't. He's just too lovable and amazing. Way to go Ed, making the world a better place with your voice.

[@eleanorsiwek6925]

its safe to say ed sheeran is one of the greatest song writers....✨

[@evelynbyakutaaga6904]

He is

[@daeshunneli2400]

To me he is the greatest

[@valeriav.g.3851]

These lyrics are so well put together, it's unbelievable! Ed is a genius when it comes to putting feelings into words, that's for sure.

[@meleahmccaleb8622]

I can picture him wearing a summer dress with a yellow hair clip and yellow sandals :)

[@thisperson3787]

Okay then! Moving on! lol

[@firesoup1045]

[@WangChungN7]

[@seansimps2122]

I always come bk to Ed's earlier work. Masterpiece

[@janehe4900]

songs without music video

[@prettyblueday]

Ed is the rainy day....He makes you stay inside (to listen to him all day).....after listenin to him you can fall asleep peacefully and a rainbow forms and ed's always cold so then you automatically feel cold with him...and his voice is as perfect as the raindrops themselves

[@clairawilliams5218]

Just in case you didn't get it.. Unhappy days That left us on the floor And you breathe me 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 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 '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 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 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

Sadly, I agree with the people saying us gingers burn quickly, but I applaud you Justin and your deep metophorical thinking on this.

[@denniswayland5258]

[@viel9219]

[@nikkiboo4321]

His songs overwhelm me with their beautiful lyrics and his amazing voice makes me wanna cry. Its sad how most people don't even know who he is. .. or only know him for the one song. Because everyone deserves to hear him. I feel bad for the people who haven't

[@majopereda658]

2020 and this is still one of my favorite songs of Ed

[@melissakate6884]

I love it when he says "i Love you" just the accent and everything ugh!

[@korinazambrano1974]

I love the metaphorical use he puts into a lot of his songs, his songs are so meaningful and I'm so glad I found this one

[@theboygonegamer]

This had a "Hey There Delilah" Style to it.

[@floralsephora9551]

[@girlin1drland]

Guys, why isn't this on spotify 😭

[@kaitlynfan]

I was wondering the same thing!!! haha

[@juliansall2002]

Because it's not an "official Ed Sheeran song". Neither him or his record label have put this song on the market, so...

[@oliviapavan76]

Julian Säll it is an official ed sheeran song its on his you need me ep

[@TheMachete93]

That is exactly what I was asking!! The frustration is real I love this song

[@kaitlynfan]

same

[@GothMsFrizzle]

He is so amazing, people really just like him for his music, his voice, and his lyrical honesty. That's what music is made for I think.

[@FatimaFromlekillerteam]

THIS SONG I WAY TOO CUTE I CAN'T

[@anitaposa9164]

It's actually quite depressing. One of the most depressing up beat songs I've ever heard.

[@Lunaticdoodles]

I've been looking for this song for 20 mins

[@brittanybarker1089]

"Squeeze into a dress" Please tell me I'm not the only one thinking about when he dressed up as Annie

[@myEdwardAnthonyMasen]

I spent like 10 minutes reading your whole conversation lol im happy i did it, cause now i know im not the only one that would love to end up with Ed :) Since everyone around here is like "i like his music, but he isnt handsome" -.-''

[@giannaa2401]

i remember trying to get this song onto my ipod way before but was released onto iTunes, though the one on iTunes is the acoustic it's still very very good (:

[@GabyGalvan13]

Its beautiful how most of his lyric videos made by fans are now gaining the MILLION views :')

[@Phoexin]

It is kind of sad that the most prevalent comment on here is about the dress quote... Even though males from across many cultures wear robes and other dress-like outfits... Plus, who the heck cares what outfit you express yourself in? Love this song so much :) it is sweet and a tad bit desperate in a lonely way.

[@diegosegovia8171]

That Awkward Person Agreed, that's the first thing I thought of when I heard this song :)

[@sandeshpaudel9427]

Have been going through Ed’s old song and it still gives that fresh feeling with a pinch of nostalgic bumps👌💞

[@ellieplegutsa2057]

Anyone still love this song in 2019?

[@t0xtricity]

Am I the only one more into the acoustic? I think it has more emotion and sounds more twisted (that's how I see the song).

[@BiancaBurgio]

I can't stop listen to ALL the Ed's songs. *-*

[@karirodriguez4017]

guys. "squeeze into a dress" is probably him getting across the point that he wants to look into her point of view

[@danigurll99]

this is exactly how i feel. I haven't seen my sister in over 4 years because she hated my family, and i put on her clothes sometimes to make me feel like her. she was everything i wanted to be and now she's gone

[@jennfraneski6646]

at the end of the song it says and you left me too and not and WHY you left me too anyone else notice this?

[@ashlynvanegas1261]

Yes! I did

[@marwaalwasila6433]

[@emrinaarifoska8296]

His old songs are better imo

[@kalabenson8591]

hi i dont want to seem dumb but... what is the meaning if this song PLEASE EXPLAIN !!!

[@missandryy11]

i think the song is about him just wanting to know how a girl is thinking

[@syubidambidam]

I think it's about a guy (or Ed) missing a girl and he missed her too much that he'd follow his girl's habit like stopping himself from eating food, squeezing into a dress, etc

[@mrmythikk5696]

Kind of like what Cynthia said but also I think he just thought about it all like how she felt when she was with him and he realized why she broke up with him.

[@aaronremineux1326]

BAAAASICALLY, it's about him and Alice. They were going through a rough spell, her at uni and him touring which is in U.N.I. This is him basically saying he's anticipating her letting him go because it's too hard for them. But he's madly in love with her, and still is to this day might I add. So he's saying all these things because he wants to try and see the relationship for her point of view and essentially why she wanted to go. But this is coupled with him missing her and wanting to wear her clothes and be like her so she's still a part of him. Very deep stuff aha :) Basically he is waiting for them to break up and thinks she will give up on them so he's wanting to be like her to see why it's gonna end

[@mrmythikk5696]

Aaron Remineux 2deep4me, lol no thanks for explaining bud. I'm always under the impression his old songs are about Alice.

[@tomazrocha8580]

I love this lyric video because it has a full stop after every nearly every sentence. :D

[@pranathiparikosh4956]

[@VeenaSuresh21]

I think as far as I can understand, it's just him singing about an ex he's in love with or was in love with. he just says he starts 'acting' like her so he can get a better understanding of what's going on in her head. That's what I understood from it atleast. Really love the lyrics, Ed is flawless

[@Ok_though]

Swoon

[@ashleykarlstad4624]

You made me laugh out loud when I read "I would happily go to jail for this ginger." LOL Thank you.

[@emmvold]

a lot of your commas are in the wrong places. if you can't use them properly, don't use them at all. it honestly detracted from the video.

[@juliakovar37]

Someone would've complained even if she hadn't put commas at all so please shut up

[@Koty244]

A lot of your capitalization is off. If you can't differentiate between lowercase and uppercase, and attempt to burn someone on their punctuation skills when you have horrible punctuation skills, then kindly shut the fuck up.

[@astridjohannsen4043]

Exactly what Koty said. And by the way, what does detracted mean? If you can't spell words properly, don't use them in sentences. It honestly *distracted* me from the stupid comment. P.S.- The commas were placed there to show when there was a pause in the lyrics.

[@sandomingo80]

[@justinloring6571]

If you think about it, when he says "Sunny days, that left my skin blood red" leads into his song "sunburn" where he talks about how his relationship with Alice didn't work out because of Ed traveling, and how they wouldn't get to see each other that much. She was a sunburn, she came, scarred, then left.
