Well, I don't know how much it means to you   But I sing it anyway   And it burns inside me so longingly   That I can't help but sing it everyday      And I've watched you play with fire, and give yourself away   To the world that brings you down   But I still remember that soft eyed girl who took my hand   And I wish she'd find her way home again      Cause I know what it's like   I know what it's like      Sometimes I wake up wishing   Just to hear you sing your melody   And I know there's someone who you don't want to talk to   And this ain't just about me      Cause I know what it's like   I know what it's like to be alone      Dee dee dee-de   Dee dee dee-de      And I would give myself, just to see you free   But someone went ahead and gave them self in place of me
