by Townes Van Zandt<br /><br />Why does she sing<br />her sad songs for me,<br />I'm not the one<br />to tenderly bring<br />her soft sympathy<br />I've just begun<br />to see my way clear<br />and it's plain,<br />if I stop I will fall<br />I can lay down a tear<br />for her pain,<br />just a tear and that's all.<br /><br /><br />What does she want me to do?<br />she says that she knows<br />that moments are rare<br />I suppose that it's true<br />then on she goes<br />to say I don't care,<br />and she knows<br />that I do<br /><br /><br />Maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song<br />and who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong.<br /><br /><br />She'd like to think that I'm cruel,<br />but she knows that's a lie<br />for I would be<br />no more than a tool<br />if I allowed her to cry<br />all over me.<br /><br /><br />Oh my sorrow is real<br />even though<br />I can't change my plan<br />If she could see how I feel<br />then I know<br />that she'd understand<br /><br /><br />Oh does she actually think I'm to blame?<br />Does she really believe<br />that some word of mine<br />can relieve<br />all her pain?<br />Can't she see that she grieves<br />just because she's been blindly deceived<br />by her shame?<br /><br /><br />Nothin's what it seems,<br />maybe she'll start someday<br />to realize<br />If she abandons her dreams,<br />then all the words she can say<br />are only lies<br />when will she see<br />that to gain<br />is only to lose?<br />All that she offers me<br />are her chains,<br />I got to refuse<br /><br /><br />Oh but it's only to herself that she's lied<br />she likes to pretend<br />it's something that she must defend,<br />with her pride<br />and I don't intend<br />to stand her and be the friend<br />from whom she must hide
