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 aint' just about me

Cause I know what it's like,
I know what it's like to be alone

And I would give myself, just to see you free
But someone went ahead and gave them self in place of me
