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