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
