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