Why does she sing these sad songs for me
Im not the one to tenderly bring her soft sympathy
Ive just begun to see my way clear, its plain if I stop I will fall
I can lay down a tear for her pain, a tear and thats all
What does she want me to do?
She says that she knows moments are rare
I suppose that its true and on she goes to say
I dont 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 shes wrong
Shed like to think I was cruel, she knows thats 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 cant change my plans
If she could see how I feel then I know shed understand
Does she actually think Im to blame?
Does she really believe that some word of mine
Could relieve all her pain?
Cant she see that she grieves just
Because shes 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 shes wrong
I know nothings what it seems maybe one day shell 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 its only to herself that shes lied
She likes to pretend its something
That she should defend, with her pride
And I dont 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 shes wrong
Well, maybe she just has to sing
For the sake of the song
