Sad But True


 



Hey 



I'm your life 

I'm the one who takes you there 



hey 



I'm your life 

I'm the one who cares 



they 



they betray 

I'm your only true friend now 



they 



they'll betray 

I'm forever there 



I'm your dream, make you real 

I'm your eyes when you must steal 

I'm your pain when you can't feel 



sad but true 



I'm your dream, mind astray 

I'm your eyes while you're away 

I'm your pain while you repay 



you know it's sad but true 



you 



you're my mask 

you're my cover, my shelter 



you 



you're my mask 

you're the one who's blamed 



do 



do my work 

do my dirty work, scapegoat 



do 



do my deeds 

for you're the one who's shamed 



I'm your dream, make you real 

I'm your eyes when you must steal 

I'm your pain when you can't feel 



sad but true 



I'm your dream, mind astray 

I'm your eyes while you're away 

I'm your pain while you repay 



you know it's sad but true 



hate 



I'm your hate 

I'm your hate when you want love 



pay 



pay the price 

pay, for nothing's fair 



hey 



I'm your life 

I'm the one who took you here 



hey 



I'm your life 

and I no longer care 



I'm your dream, make you real 

I'm your eyes when you must steal 



I'm your pain when you can't feel 

sad but true 



I'm your truth, telling lies 

I'm your reasoned alibis 

I'm inside open your eyes 

I'm you 



sad but true
