Sad But True

(Hetfield,Ulrich)


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 there
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 reason alibis
     I'm inside     open your eyes
     I'm you

     Sad but true
