By townes van zandt
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
