Sad But True lyrics

(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 your 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 here
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
