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
And 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.

Oh my sorrow is real
Even though
I can't change my plan
If she could see how I feel
Then I know
That she'd understand

Oh does she actually think I'm to blame?
Does she really believe
That some word of mine
Can relieve
All her pain?
Can't she see that she grieves
Just because she's been blindly deceived
By her shame?

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

Oh but it's only to herself that she's lied
She likes to pretend
It's something that she must defend,
With her pride
And I don't intend
To stand her and be the friend
From whom she must hide


Mirror lyrics:

From whom she must hide
To stand her and be the friend
And I don't intend
With her pride
It's something that she must defend,
She likes to pretend
Oh but it's only to herself that she's lied

I got to refuse
Are her chains,
All that she offers me
Is only to lose?
That to gain
When will she see
Are only lies
Then all the words she can say
If she abandons her dreams,
To realize
Maybe she'll start someday
Nothin's what it seems,

By her shame?
Just because she's been blindly deceived
Can't she see that she grieves
All her pain?
Can relieve
That some word of mine
Does she really believe
Oh does she actually think I'm to blame?

That she'd understand
Then I know
If she could see how I feel
I can't change my plan
Even though
Oh my sorrow is real

All over me.
If I allowed her to cry
No more than a tool
For I would be
But she knows that's a lie
She'd like to think that I'm cruel,

And who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong.
Maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song

That I do
And she knows
To say I don't care,
Then on she goes
I suppose that it's true
That moments are rare
She says that she knows
What does she want me to do?

Just a tear and that's all.
For her pain,
I can lay down a tear
If I stop I will fall
And it's plain,
To see my way clear
I've just begun
Her soft sympathy
To tenderly bring
I'm not the one
Her sad songs for me,
Why does she sing
