Discover the story of the song > Similar Features – Melissa Etheridge

The protagonist of the song is being asked to imagine her ex-partner with someone else who looks similar to her but with longer hair. It seems like the relationship ended badly, perhaps because he was not fully committed. The protagonist is struggling with her feelings and wondering if he really wanted her, or if it was just a passing fancy. Despite all this, she tells him to close his eyes and imagine what he needs to, because it shouldn't bother him.
