For The Sake Of The Song |
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 |
Well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song |
