<pre><font size='+2'>FOR THE SAKE OF THE SONG lyrics COUNTING CROWS</font><br>(Original by Townes Van Zandt) <br />
 <br />
 Why does she sing<br />
 her sad songs for me,<br />
 I`m not the one<br />
 to tenderly bring<br />
 her soft sympathy<br />
 I`ve just begun<br />
 to see my way clear<br />
 and it`s plain,<br />
 if I stop I will fall<br />
 I can lay down a tear<br />
 for her pain,<br />
 just a tear and that`s all.<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 What does she want me to do?<br />
 she says that she knows<br />
 that moments are rare<br />
 I suppose that it`s true<br />
 then on she goes<br />
 to say I don`t care,<br />
 and she knows<br />
 that I do<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 Maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song<br />
 and who do I think that I am to decide that she`s wrong.<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 She`d like to think that I`m cruel,<br />
 but she knows that`s a lie<br />
 for I would be<br />
 no more than a tool<br />
 if I allowed her to cry<br />
 all over me.<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 Oh my sorrow is real<br />
 eventhough<br />
 I can`t change my plan<br />
 If she could see how I feel<br />
 then I know<br />
 that she`d understand<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 Oh does she actually think I`m to blame?<br />
 Does she really believe<br />
 that some word of mine<br />
 can relieve<br />
 all her pain?<br />
 Can`t she see that she grieves<br />
 just because she`s been blindly deceived<br />
 by her shame?<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 Nothin`s what it seems,<br />
 maybe she`ll start someday<br />
 to realize<br />
 If she abandons her dreams,<br />
 then all the words she can say<br />
 are only lies<br />
 when will she see<br />
 that to gain<br />
 is only to lose?<br />
 All that she offers me<br />
 are her chains,<br />
 I got to refuse<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 Oh but it`s only to herself that she`s lied<br />
 she likes to pretend<br />
 it`s something that she must defend,<br />
 with her pride<br />
 and I don`t intend<br />
 to stand here and be the friend<br />
 from whom she must hide<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/for_the_sake_of_the_song_lyrics-counting_crows.html" target='_blank'>FOR THE SAKE OF THE SONG lyrics COUNTING CROWS</a></pre>

(Original by Townes Van Zandt)

Why does she sing
her sad songs for me,
I`m not the one
to tenderly bring
her soft sympathy
I`ve just begun
to see my way clear
and it`s plain,
if I stop I will fall
I can lay down a tear
for her pain,
just a tear and that`s all.

What does she want me to do?
she says that she knows
that moments are rare
I suppose that it`s true
then on she goes
to say I don`t care,
and she knows
that I do

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 that I`m cruel,
but 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
eventhough
I can`t change my plan
If she could see how I feel
then I know
that she`d understand

Oh does she actually think I`m to blame?
Does she really believe
that some word of mine
can relieve
all her pain?
Can`t she see that she grieves
just because she`s been blindly deceived
by her shame?

Nothin`s what it seems,
maybe she`ll start someday
to realize
If she abandons her dreams,
then all the words she can say
are only lies
when will she see
that to gain
is only to lose?
All that she offers me
are her chains,
I got to refuse

Oh but it`s only to herself that she`s lied
she likes to pretend
it`s something that she must defend,
with her pride
and I don`t intend
to stand here and be the friend
from whom she must hide
