Sad but true

Metallica

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

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

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 reasoned alibis

I'm inside open your eyes

I'm you

Sad but true
