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