Why does she sing her sad songs for me, I'm not the one

To tenderly bring her soft sympathy, I've just begun

To see my way clear and it's plain if I stop I will fall

I can lay down a tear for her pain, just a tear and that's all

What does she want me to do

She says that she knows that moments are rare

I suppose that it's true

Then on she goes to say I don't care and she knows that I do

Maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song

Who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong



She'd like to think that I'm cruel but she knows that's a lie for I would be

No more than a tool if I allowed her to cry all over me

My sorrow is real even though I can't change my plans

If she could see how I feel then I know that 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

Maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song

Who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong



Nothin's what it seems, maybe she'll start someday to realize

If she abandons her dreams then all the words she can say are only lies

When will she see that to gain is only to lose

All that she offers me are her chains, I got to refuse

It's only to herself that she's lied

She likes to pretend there's something that she should defend with her pride

I don't intend to stand her and be the friend from whom she must hide

Maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song

Who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong
