He's so independent,    He acts like he couldn't care less for us all    He's someone's descendent, their child,    Though he'll never acknowledge their call    He's afraid to feel loved,    Yet 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 lookin' for a door standing open,    Saying "Welcome, come and lay your troubles down"   Just like me      If he'd drop his defenses   You'd 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 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 lookin' for a door standing open,    Saying "Welcome, come and lay your troubles down"   Just like me      Well, I've seen him looking for someone to tell him    "You're doin' just fine"    And the songs that he sings   They have loneliness woven between every line    There are no strings to hold him    I guess you could call him so free    Yes, he's free to be lonely and empty    And lost   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 lookin' for a door standing open,    Saying "Welcome, come and lay your troubles down"   Just like me
