Yo great song but hear me out what if there was a female part essentially singing about the same self doubt just a thought i think the songs great either way
I know a man That looks just like me I'm filled with envy Just thinking about him 'Cause he's got a girl Who looks so pretty And in her eyes He's the perfect man And lord knows I'm jealous How she looks at him like that Him like that I know it's selfish but Is it a sin To love someone who loves another man If it is then I repent 'Cause I don't know the man that she claims I am I could never be as good as him But I love her more than anything Don't know why she'd ever fall for me She says that I'm the only one she'll ever love But when I'm looking into Her eyes I swear that there's a better guy Looking back, looking back Looking back at me I wanna believe That I'm that person, the perfect version She thinks I am But I'm just a human Broken with bruises I don't wanna screw this up And lord knows I'm jealous Of how she looks at me like that If only I could see it too Is it a sin To love someone who loves another man If it is then I repent 'Cause I don't know the man that she claims I am I could never be as good as him But I love her more than anything Don't know why she'd ever fall for me She says that I'm the only one she'll ever love But when I'm looking into her eyes I swear that there's a better guy Looking back, looking back Looking back at me Looking back, looking back Looking back at me
What a great song that tackles imposter syndrome and self doubt. “I don’t know the man that she claims I am. I could never be as good as him.” Great lyrics that I feel like a lot of people can relate to, the feeling of not believing you deserve your partner.
I love how scaled back the production is on this one. Nice and smooth, spacious. I've been trying to incorporate that acoustic sound more in my music as well.
I saw the short about how this song was started, using Biblical words as the inspiration. Keeping with that same topic, I realized that I heard this song much differently than it sounds like it was supposed to sound. At face value, it's talking about a man's insecurities and a woman's love, regardless of those doubts. The exact same idea can be applied to the way that Christ sees those who love Him. Personally, my life has elements of both interpretations of the song: I have those insecurities in my relationship with the woman I love, and I have those doubts in my relationship with my Savior and Creator, but it's incredible to see it from the other person's perspective. The unconditional love, the respect, and dedication, regardless of imperfections and sin, is such a beautiful thing that this song encapsulates very well. I do wish that the repentance, and the turning away from the sin, was focused on a bit more near the end, but it's still great.
I DONT KNOW WHY BUT THIS SONG JUST HITS DIFFERENT LIKE IM TEARING UP HAPPY TEARS YOUR MY TOP LISTENED TO ARTIST FOR 2024 PLSSS KEEP GOING I LOVE YOUR MUSIC❤❤❤❤❤❤
You were my top listened to artist of 2023 (“if the sky was falling” being my most listened to song)!!! 🥳🥳🥳 Thank you for making great music and inspiring me through you songs! I genuinely appreciate what you do!!! (Also this song is amazing)
Top tier lyricism. Also I’m proud to say JMH was one of my top artists in my Apple Music replay (which is equivalent to Spotify wrap). Wave a pen was my top song 😎
For some reason, I relate to this as someone with an attachment avoidant personality since I find it hard to connect or even trust others due to past experiences. And I also have a hard time finding the good parts of myself, aka the "man he claims I am". Probably will sing this to whoever will be my special person someday... Anyways, thank you for your music John!
Had this stuck in my head from the short I seen with your dad. Looked it up today and man this song is great. Feel like I relate a lot harder than I want to. I’m 23 I been with my beautiful lady since 9th grade and I have always wished I could be the man she sees me as but sadly I feel that I’ll never get to there. Song brought tears to my eyes.
this song relates to me such much and boy does it hurt. But its an amazing song man. im really excited to hear more of your songs keep up the amazing work!
Never sang this song so loud today. I’ve been listening since it came out, and now I’m really getting and feeling the meaning, and WOW! I’ve never appreciated this song more. Imma go sob now lol
I’ve literally been listening to your entire Spotify for days. Not one song that I want to skip! Absolutely love everything you bring out. Can’t wait for this premier!

To all the people who think the way this song describes, (I felt this way), trust your significant other. I had a other half, she always reassured me, i wasnt a good person in the past but i changed and she made sure to let me know that she loved me and that i was a different man than I was. But I had other people barrage me with comments telling me I was no different. Every time she would tell me she loved me and it would be ok. My paranoia and my self doubt eventually drove her away. Dont make the same mistake i did, actually trust them, because i didn't, i pushed her away. Great song, makes me cry everytime.
I thought this was gonna be sus if you know what I mean but you expressed a feeling that I did not expect. You gave it an interesting twist talking about who she thinks you are, in third person. It's like Nathan: "You are the man." Super well done and great work, mah dude.
Bro i cry from this song because im in love with my classmate who got i boyfriend when im showing im in love with her i know is childish but im still in love with her
Yo great song but hear me out what if there was a female part essentially singing about the same self doubt just a thought i think the songs great either way
1,000%!!!!!!!!
I agree it would be the thoughts of him and her genius
😱... might just be me but from my limited exposure just from listening to friends and family members... that song would have innumerable verses.
Yes, this right here
100,000,000,000,000%
WOW. The plot twist in those lyrics is INCREDIBLE. 😱I love it.
I literally read this comment before, and it still threw me.
I wasn't ready
O yeah!
I'm telling you mahn....it's incredible..😮
true
I came from the shorts!!! Wow you are a great story teller and a goddamn good singer.
Same here just now
Ikr same 😂
😂me too
ikr wow im early 8 days
Same here
saw this to my reels with your dad and search it because I'm curious and now i'm getting goosebumps❤
Same ❤
@@FoxyismynameofficialGuess what? Me too!😮
@@FoxyismynameofficialDon't you like It ?
Same❤
Same here.
How the story flips when the twist hits...
This song hits hard
I know a man
That looks just like me
I'm filled with envy
Just thinking about him
'Cause he's got a girl
Who looks so pretty
And in her eyes
He's the perfect man
And lord knows I'm jealous
How she looks at him like that
Him like that
I know it's selfish but
Is it a sin
To love someone who loves another man
If it is then I repent
'Cause I don't know the man that she claims I am
I could never be as good as him
But I love her more than anything
Don't know why she'd ever fall for me
She says that I'm the only one she'll ever love
But when I'm looking into
Her eyes
I swear that there's a better guy
Looking back, looking back
Looking back at me
I wanna believe
That I'm that person, the perfect version
She thinks I am
But I'm just a human
Broken with bruises
I don't wanna screw this up
And lord knows I'm jealous
Of how she looks at me like that
If only I could see it too
Is it a sin
To love someone who loves another man
If it is then I repent
'Cause I don't know the man that she claims I am
I could never be as good as him
But I love her more than anything
Don't know why she'd ever fall for me
She says that I'm the only one she'll ever love
But when I'm looking into her eyes
I swear that there's a better guy
Looking back, looking back
Looking back at me
Looking back, looking back
Looking back at me
Thank you!

Interesting interpretation
@@betaman2009 I know it's not perfectly one-to-one, but it was an interesting perspective to me nonetheless
Damn… I’ve never had a song hit me like that. And within the first 30 seconds.

Anyways, thank you for your music John!
No past experience but even I find it very hard to trust a man. But hope is all I have.
