Sad But True Lyrics

Hey
Im your life
Im the one who takes you there
Hey
Im your life
Im the one who cares
They
They betray
Im your only true friend now
They
Theyll betray
Im forever there

Im your dream, make you real
Im your eyes when you must steal
Im your pain when you cant feel
Sad but true

Im your dream, mind astray
Im your eyes while youre away
Im your pain while you repay
You know its sad but true

You
Youre my mask
Youre my cover, my shelter
You
Youre my mask
Youre the one whos blamed
Do
Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do
Do my deeds
For youre the one whos shamed

Im your dream, make you real
Im your eyes when you must steal
Im your pain when you cant feel
Sad but true

Im your dream, mind astray
Im your eyes while youre away
Im your pain while you repay
You know its sad but true

Hate
Im your hate
Im your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
Pay, for nothings fair

Hey
Im your life
Im the one who took you here
Hey
Im your life
And I no longer care

Im your dream, make you real
Im your eyes when you must steal
Im your pain when you cant feel
Sad but true

Im your truth, telling lies
Im your reasoned alibis
Im inside open your eyes
Im you

Sad but true
