To decide that she's wrong
I know nothings what it seems maybe one day she'll start to realize
Then all the words she can say are only lies
She'd like to think I was cruel, she knows that's a lie
That if she abandons her dreams
I can lay down a tear for her pain, a tear and that's all
Well, maybe she just has to sing
Well, maybe she just has to sing
And who do I think that I am
She likes to pretend it's something
To decide that she's wrong
Oh my sorrow is real even though I can't change my plans
When will she see that the gain is only to lose?
All that she offers me are her chains and I got to refuse
She says that she knows moments are rare
And who do I think that I am
Does she really believe that some word of mine
For the sake of the song
And who do I think that I am
I suppose that it's true and on she goes to say
I've just begun to see my way clear, it's plain if I stop I will fall
Because she's been blindly deceived by her shame?
For the sake of the song
Well, maybe she just has to sing
And be the friend from whom she must hide
But it's only to herself that she's lied
I don't care when she knows that I do
For I would be no more than a tool if I allowed her to cry all over me
Could relieve all her pain?
For the sake of the song
That she should defend, with her pride
What does she want me to do?
If she could see how I feel then I know she'd understand
Well, maybe she just has to sing
Can't she see that she grieves just
To decide that she's wrong
Does she actually think I'm to blame?
And I don't intend to stand here
