Like You,Only Sweeter...

The problem with a break up is that the next person you fall in love to is expected to not only fill in the shoes left behind by the ex,but also be a billion times better than the ex.At least that's what I believe it should be,if you're going to end up dating another jerk then what's the use?When in doubt,don't make rash decisions.Of course,if I were to apply this principle then obviously I'll stay single for the rest of my life since I don't think I can ever outbeat anyone.Oh,maybe I can but most of their exes are probably not my type anyway.As if I'm not strict enough in filtering the people out.Don't get me wrong,I don't receive many,in fact any,application forms to be my other half so I'm basically filtering out girls before I even know them as a person.Of course there will be a few who slipped through a 'hole' in my filter paper,for some reason they managed to impress me or redeem themselves through their actions,gestures or words that amazes me.

I remembered my new year resolution,it is to not have a proper one so that there'll be lots of room for surprises.I guess this is one such example,to never count anybody out.If I were to wake up tomorrow regretting getting myself into such a mess,I'd still do it anyway because that's the only way I can progress as an individual.I will fall,crash and burn if I have to.Today,I will soak myself with everything I want to do and feel without a worry of what tomorrow will bring because I can.Let's see where this road takes me,fingers crossed that it'd be for the better.Enough digressing,yes,comparison.Don't we all hate to be compared to the person next to you yet,we hypocrites find ourselves in such situations more often than you'd realise.I for once am going to admit my flaw,which also includes trying to find more fault with somebody to make me not like the person when I find a certain trait I dislike about the person.But I can't help it at times,especially when the previous people I know have certain traits that I particularly admire and respect.Or when something the person said blows your mind away and it becomes the model answer to future responses.Maybe it's the impression that someone left behind that makes me feel this way so I guess in a way I am biased and unwilling to try taking in anything new because I'm pretty much holding on to the past.Which of course contradicts my new year resolutions.Gosh,I'm going nowhere.


She's just like you,only sweeter...


I met her in a room of strangers
Laughing as they painted her with wine
Now we meet in darkest places
More sacred than anyplace you and I could ever find

Just like you only sweeter
Just like you but more refined
Just like you without the bitter
Unlike you she never lies

It's a fresh touch, a new way
A language of our own brought to life
A slow serenade to the broken
Drowning out the years, holding back the tide

And when she turns in the shadows
She calls to me
And it seems to me
Like you from time to time
But

(She's)
Just like you only sweeter
Just like you but more refined
Just like you only deeper
Just like you but more alive
(She's)
Just like you but I can feel her
Yeah, unlike you she never hides

Her soft voice shakes the whole room
Quiets the sound of a crowded mind
And then she comes in the shadows
She feels to me like it used to be before we had to try

(She's)
Just like you only sweeter
Just like you with more inside
(She's)
Just like you without the bitter
Yeah, unlike you she never lies

Resurrection's just a whisper from your lips
And it's coming through
Hard to think of even one thing that I could miss
When it comes to you
Oh, when it comes to you

Just like you only sweeter
Just like you but more refined
Just like you without the bitter
Just like you with nothing to hide

Yeah, unlike you she never lies
Well, unlike you she doesn't hide

Just like you only sweeter, sweeter
Just like you with more inside
(She's)
Just like you only deeper
She's just like you but more alive
(She's)
Just like you but I can feel her
Unlike you she doesn't hide

No, unlike you she never lies
No, unlike you she's always right...
