| Hes so independent
|
| He acts like he couldnt care less for us all
|
| Hes someones descendent
|
| Their child
|
| But hell never acknowledge their call
|
| Hes afraid to be loved
|
| And I know hes afraid not to be And hell laugh and hell cry
|
| And someday hell die
|
| Just like me Just like me Hes settling a score
|
| With a world
|
| That wants a reason
|
| Every time you turn around
|
| Just like me Hes looking for a door
|
| Standing open, saying welcome
|
| Come and lay your troubles down
|
| Just like me Hell drop his pretenses
|
| Youll see through the stone to the heart of the man
|
| But the moment he senses youve seen him
|
| Hell leave you as fast as he can
|
| Hell return to his shadows
|
| Where no one can look in and see
|
| And hell wake in the night
|
| And hell cry like a child
|
| Just like me Just like me Hes settling a score
|
| With a world that wants a reason
|
| Every time you turn around
|
| Just like me Hes looking for a door
|
| Standing open, saying welcome
|
| Come and lay your troubles down
|
| Just like me Ive seen him look hungry for someone
|
| To tell him «youre doing just fine»
|
| The songs that hes sung me Have loneliness woven between every line
|
| With no strings to hold him
|
| I guess he could call himself free
|
| Yes, hes free to be empty and lonely and wrong
|
| Just like me Just like me Hes settling a score
|
| With a world that wants a reason
|
| Every time you turn around
|
| Just like me Hes looking for a door
|
| Standing open, saying welcome
|
| Come and lay your troubles down
|
| Just like me |
