|
Why does she sing her sad songs for me, I'm not the one |
|
To tenderly bring her soft sympathy, I've just begun |
|
To see my way clear and it's plain if I stop I will fall |
|
I can lay down a tear for her pain, just a tear and that's all |
|
What does she want me to do |
|
She says that she knows that moments are rare |
|
I suppose that it's true |
|
Then on she goes to say I don't care and she knows that I do |
|
Maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song |
|
Who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong |
|
|
|
She'd like to think that I'm cruel but she knows that's a lie for I would be |
|
No more than a tool if I allowed her to cry all over me |
|
My sorrow is real even though I can't change my plans |
|
If she could see how I feel then I know that she'd understand |
|
Does she actually think I'm to blame |
|
Does she really believe that some word of mine |
|
Could relieve all her pain |
|
Can't she see that she grieves just because she's been blindly deceived |
|
By her shame |
|
Maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song |
|
Who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong |
|
|
|
Nothin's what it seems, maybe she'll start someday to realize |
|
If she abandons her dreams then all the words she can say are only lies |
|
When will she see that to gain is only to lose |
|
All that she offers me are her chains, I got to refuse |
|
It's only to herself that she's lied |
|
She likes to pretend there's something that she should defend with her pride |
|
I don't intend to stand her and be the friend from whom she must hide |
|
Maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song |
|
Who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong |
