letra de for the sake of the song (1968 version) - townes van zandt

[verse 1]
aw 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

oh 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, aw she knows that i do

[chorus]
aw 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?

[verse 2]
she’d like to think i was 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

aw my sorrow is real
even though i can’t change my plans
if she could see how i feel
then i know that she’d understand

or does she actually think i’m to blame?
does she really believe that some word of mine
could relieve all her pain?
can’t she see that she grieves
just because she’s been blindly deceived
by her shame?

[chorus]
aw 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?

[verse 3]
aw but nothin’s what it seems
maybe she’ll start some day to realize
if she abandons her dreams
then all the words she can say are only lies
aw why can’t she see
that to gain is only to lose?
all that she offers me are her chains
and i got to refuse

oh but it’s only to herself that she’s lied
she likes to pretend
there’s something that she should defend
with her pride
and i don’t intend
to stand here and be the friend
from whom she must hide

[chorus]
aw 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?
