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
Igual que yo
Él es tan independiente
Actúa como si no le importáramos en absoluto
Es descendiente de alguien
Su hijo
Pero nunca reconocerá su llamado
Tiene miedo de ser amado
Y sé que tiene miedo de no serlo
Y reirá y llorará
Y algún día morirá
Igual que yo
Igual que yo
Está saldando una deuda
Con un mundo
Que busca una razón
Cada vez que te das la vuelta
Igual que yo
Busca una puerta
Abierta, diciendo bienvenido
Ven y deja tus problemas
Igual que yo
Dejará sus pretensiones
Verás a través de la piedra hasta el corazón del hombre
Pero en el momento en que sienta que lo has visto
Te dejará tan rápido como pueda
Volverá a sus sombras
Donde nadie puede mirar y ver
Y despertará en la noche
Y llorará como un niño
Igual que yo
Igual que yo
Está saldando una deuda
Con un mundo que busca una razón
Cada vez que te das la vuelta
Igual que yo
Busca una puerta
Abierta, diciendo bienvenido
Ven y deja tus problemas
Igual que yo
Lo he visto buscar hambriento a alguien
Que le diga 'Estás haciendo bien'
Las canciones que me ha cantado
Tienen soledad entretejida entre cada línea
Sin cuerdas que lo sujeten
Supongo que podría llamarse libre
Sí, es libre de estar vacío, solo y equivocado
Igual que yo
Igual que yo
Está saldando una deuda
Con un mundo que busca una razón
Cada vez que te das la vuelta
Igual que yo
Busca una puerta
Abierta, diciendo bienvenido
Ven y deja tus problemas
Igual que yo
