Has life hit you so hard that you've been knocked down?
Have you gone too far to find the middle ground?
Did they raise you so high just to pull you back down?
Have you been so lost you could never be found?

'Cause I've been real, I've been fake (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Been a sinner, been a saint (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I've been right, I've been so, so wrong
Yeah, I've made my mistakes

I don't know what it's like to be you (Like to be you)
You don't know what it's like to be me
What if we're all the same in different kinds of ways
Can you, can you relate?
We both know what it's like to bе hurt (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
We both know what it's like to feel pain (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
But I think it's safe to say wе're on to better days
Can you, can you relate?

Can you relate?

Have you ever been left when you should have been loved?
Has there ever been a time when you stayed but you shoulda run?

'Cause I've been real, I've been fake (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Been a sinner, been a saint (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I've been right, I've been so, so wrong
Yeah, I've made my mistakes

Now I don't know what it's like to be you
You don't know what it's like to be me
What if we're all the same in different kinds of ways
Can you, can you relate?
We both know what it's like to be hurt (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
We both know what it's like to feel pain (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
But I think it's safe to say we're on to better days
Can you, can you relate?

Can you relate? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Can you relate? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Can you relate?

I don't know what it's like to be you
You don't know what it's like to be me
But by the grace of God we'll see each other's heart
Can you, can you relate?
