(Lyrics):
Last night I smoked a cigarette,
My dad would have been so upset,
Then we got tattoos by the coast,
And I just stood there like a ghost.
Maybe I'm an old soul trapped in a young body,
Maybe you don't really want me there at your birthday party,
I'll be there in the corner thinking right over,
Every single word of the conversation we just had.
So, why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I
Why am I like this
I saw a girl crying on the train,
Gin and tonic from a can to ease the pain,
And I never asked if she was okay,
She just got up and walked away.
Oh, it's like I'm looking down from the ceiling above,
Never in the moment, never giving enough,
Let's go out and shout the words we never said,
I've got my mistakes on loop inside my head, inside my head
So, why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I like this
Why am I
Why am I like this
Oh maybe I'm an old soul trapped in a young body,
Maybe you don't really want me there,
I'll be there in the corner thinking right over,
Every single word of the conversation we just had.

Have you watched the series on netflix?

[wheelson]

This series has made me realise I should be myself and not what people want me to be. The story is just amazing and makes my heart feel warm and I did cry twice during the series.

[lily]

This song hits hard especially when your in still in the closet from ur parents, they’re expecting u to start getting crushes on boys and dating and all of ur friends are boy crazy and you aren’t into guys . It’s the most isolating, lonely and painful thing ever even though some of my friends like girls too . But I wouldn’t change it for the world either. This show was probably the most comforting show I’ve ever watched

[chrixtiannnnnn]

Im BI. After watching Heartstopper i am now confident of showing my true self to everyone, especially my fam. Heartstopper thought me to be my self and shouldn't be afraid of what people might say. Idk but still can't get over with the series i keep on watching it all over again.. IT HEALS MY SOUL

[bertwesler]

This will always be my theme song for Heart Stopper...

[Airsoft_Dude]

This show made me express myself in many different ways

[gerarddupuis]

I'm here because i look Heartstopper et I love this song !!!

[miriamstoklasa]

Oml this is in heartstopper I’m obsessed

[ronenclan]

This show made me come out to some of my family members like my parents and my grandma, all of them supported me.😊

Never has a series, soap, drama or film resonated my life and represented me in such a way. I fell in love with a young man when I was in year 9 at school but he was supposedly straight and then went on to have a girlfriend. He is one of the kindest sweetest and most amazing boys I have ever met and for the last 8 years (I'm 23 now) I have never stopped being in love with him and for a long period of time we didn't speak because I used to get really heartbroken and depressed when I seen him with his girlfriend and the 'green eyed monster which doth mock the hand it feeds upon' (I was jealous bitch) then this year I finally got speaking to him again and just got back on to friendship terms. And one night a few short months ago he came out as gay to me and my heart sank. He finally had accepted his sexuality and told me he has been embracing his sexuality for the last 2 years. I never got to tell him how much I loved him and a part of me thinks I will be in love with him forever. It's too late now as I have let myself go and don't feel attractive anymore and I fear he will tell me he's not interested or that I'm not his type or he's going out with somebody else. So unfortunately not all stories have a happy ending like Nick and Charlie. When watching the final scenes in the series, I tried to imagine what it must be like to have someone tell you they are proud to be your boyfriend and tell you they want people to know your in love with eachother. 💔💔

[michaelblower]

This song hits me a lot. Not from my own inner conflict over my sexuality but also of my own mental health issues.
Being Autistic, I've always been different to other people. So sometimes I don't get why have it so difficult when I'm just trying to live my life.
I ask myself "Why am I like this?" 😢

[bertwesler]

I loved this story to an embarrassing level. I have never seen
a movie or show, (and I am a huge~! Book, Theater, TV and
Movie fan, I believe that the thing that separates humans from
animals is our story telling), where every single actor, every
single scene and every single cinema graphic was freakin
PERFECT. This offering was cathartic for me. I have been out
for 44 years, but this fulfilled something in me that has been
missing all along. I have seen several other gay love stories,
but this is the most innocent, sweet and wholesome love
story I have ever seen. When I say that I loved it to an
embarrassing level, (Dear God~!) I mean, I binge watched it 8 times
in a week and a half. (and I have only ever binge watched
one other show, ever, and that was only once through.)
What sets this master piece aside from all other gay stories is both
that it is one of the first none tragic love stories and it has
not one single seen for the prurient of heart.
Just awesome...
Many tears of joy...

Found it from Heartstopper & as a gay male I love it so much & I relate so hard and the show is already a good emotional cope for me because me and my boyfriend are in a long distance relationship with him in South Carolina and me in Indiana it's hard. But the song itself takes me back to my struggle for my sexuality in 8th grade and didn't finally find it out until end of my Junior Year in HS. This song does so much for me because I have depression & anxiety and on top of me being gay in a semi/moderately homophobic world I've asked myself that same question over and over. I cannot tell you the amount of times I did and almost lead to my death. If I weren't for these songs, shows, my family, friends or my boyfriend I would be dead instead of living with the good and the bad.

[keigosggsual]

Listening to this while going through some dumb Ass social anxiety😍💪

[bertwesler]

The battle cry of every teen in human history..
Why am I like this...

[mckenzieprietto]

I listen to this song like 5 times a day at this point 😭😭

[fqlzwhp]

Love heartstopper its just so emotional and perfect it shows that everyone is diffrent in there own way and its perfectly fine! Dont let people get u down for what u do or who u are!

[Sam-godq]

Literally cry every time because I know I'm not gonna get as much support that the characters in the show have, specifically from family :, )

[fubby]

i’ve been listening to Orla since 2018 and im so happy she’s starting to get the recognition she deserves 💕

[SeonghwasStrawberryMilk]

I’m so obsessed with this song, I just love the vibe and feel of it 🤧✨✨
