(Original by Townes Van Zandt)
2
Why does she sing
3
her sad songs for me,
4
I'm not the one
5
to tenderly bring
6
her soft sympathy
7
I've just begun
8
to see my way clear
9
and it's plain,
10
if I stop I will fall
11
I can lay down a tear
12
for her pain,
13
just a tear and that's all.
14
What does she want me to do?
15
she says that she knows
16
that moments are rare
17
I suppose that it's true
18
then on she goes
19
to say I don't care,
20
and she knows
21
that I do
22
Maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song
23
and who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong.
24
She'd like to think that I'm cruel,
25
but she knows that's a lie
26
for I would be
27
no more than a tool
28
if I allowed her to cry
29
all over me.
30
Oh my sorrow is real
31
eventhough
32
I can't change my plan
33
If she could see how I feel
34
then I know
35
that she'd understand
36
Oh does she actually think I'm to blame?
37
Does she really believe
38
that some word of mine
39
can relieve
40
all her pain?
41
Can't she see that she grieves
42
just because she's been blindly deceived
43
by her shame?
44
Nothin's what it seems,
45
maybe she'll start someday
46
to realize
47
If she abandons her dreams,
48
then all the words she can say
49
are only lies
50
when will she see
51
that to gain
52
is only to lose?
53
All that she offers me
54
are her chains,
55
I got to refuse
56
Oh but it's only to herself that she's lied
57
she likes to pretend
58
it's something that she must defend,
59
with her pride
60
and I don't intend
61
to stand here and be the friend
62
from whom she must hide
