You Copy Everything I Do

Intro

Oh-oh, yeah, ah

(uh-huh)

Verse

You show up in my jacket, same shoes laced up tight

Say the same old jokes, copy how I tilt my head at night

You steal my coffee mug, you steal my playlist too

Walk the route I walk, take the photos like I do

You laugh when I laugh (ha-ha), you sigh when I sigh (oh)

You repeat the names I drop, act surprised like I'm the why

Mirror on two legs, following my cue

There’s a whole lot of me and a little bit of you

Pre-chorus

I used to think it was flattery, a wink and a grin

Now every time I breathe, it’s like you’re breathing in

I’m losing colors, blending lines, it’s getting hard to tell

Where I stop and you begin, where I begin and you fell

Chorus

You copy everything I do, yeah, you copy everything I do

You copy everything I do, (do, do) you copy everything I do

Oh-oh, you copy everything I do, yeah, you copy everything I do

You copy everything I do, (do, do) you copy everything I do

Verse

You took my favorite phrase and turned it into your claim

You wear my grin like a pin, but you don’t know my pain

You dress like my backup, walk like rehearsal two

But when the lights go down, who’s left to be true?

You mimic my small victories, pretend they’re yours to keep

Steal the chorus of my story then sing it off-key

I’m not the template, not your pattern to pursue

I’m a map with my own roads — stop tracing me through

Bridge

So here’s a mirror with no name, (hey) look a little closer

You’re an imitation fading fast, composure getting colder

If you want a life that’s real, start learning how to choose

Stop rehearsing my reflections, find a face that moves

(Find a face that moves) yeah, yeah

Chorus

You copy everything I do, yeah, you copy everything I do

You copy everything I do, (do, do) you copy everything I do

Oh-oh, you copy everything I do, yeah, you copy everything I do

You copy everything I do, (do, do) you copy everything I do

Chorus

You copy everything I do, yeah, you copy everything I do

You copy everything I do, (do, do) you copy everything I do

Oh-oh, you copy everything I do, yeah, you copy everything I do

You copy everything I do, (do, do) you copy everything I do
