Why does she sing these sad songs for me, i'm not the one

To tenderly bring her soft sympathy i've just begun

To see my way clear it's plain, if i stop i will fall

I can lay down a tear for her pain, a tear and that's all.



What does she want me to do?

She says that she that knows moments are rare

I suppose that it's true

And on she goes to say i don't care when she knows that i do.



Well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song

And who do i think that i am to decide that she's wrong.



She'd like to think i was cruel,

She knows that's a lie for i would be

No more than a tool

If i allowed her to cry all over me.



Oh my sorrow is real even though i can't change my plans

If she could see how i feel then i know 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?



Well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song

And who do i think that i am to decide that she's wrong.



I know nothings what it seems, maybe one day she'll start to realize

That if she abandons her dreams then all the words she can say are only lies

When will she see that the gain is only to lose?

All that she offers me are her chains, and i got to refuse.



But it's only to herself that she's lied

She likes to pretend it's something that she should defend, with her pride

And i don't intend to stand here and be the friend from whom she must hide.



Well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song

And who do i think that i am to decide that she's wrong.

Wel
