So I'm waiting for this test to end 
So these lighter days can soon begin 
I'll be alone by maybe more carefree 
Like a kite that floats so effortlessly 
I was afraid to be alone 
Now I'm scared that's how I'd like to be 
All the faces none the same 
How can there be so many personalities 
So many lifeless empty hands 
So many hearts in great demand 
And now my sorrow seems to far away
Until I'm taken by these bolts of pain 
But I turn them off and tuck them away 
Till these rainy days that make them stay 
And then I'll cry so hard to these sad songs 
And the words still ring, once here now gone
And they echo through my head everyday 
And I don't think they'll ever go away 
Just like tihnking of your childhood home 
But we can't go back were on our own 
Oh, 
Why does she sing these sad songs for me, 
I'm not the one
To tenderly bring her soft sympathy I've just begun
To see my way clear it's plain, if I stop I will fall
I can lay down a tear for her pain, 
A tear and that's all.

What does she want me to do?
She says that she that knows moments are rare
I suppose that it's true
And on she goes to say I don't care 
When she knows that I do.

Well, 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 I was cruel,
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 plans
If she could see how I feel then 
I know she'd understand

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?

Well, 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.

I know nothings what it seems, 
Maybe one day she'll start to realize
That if she abandons her dreams 
Then all the words she can say are only lies
When will she see that the gain is only to lose?
All that she offers me are her chains, 
And I got to refuse.

But it's only to herself that she's lied
She likes to pretend it'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.

Well, 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.
Well, maybe she just has to sing, 
For the sake of the song
