Just Like Me
 
  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
