Lyrics of Sad But True by Metallica
verse
Hey, I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey, I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
verse
They, they betray
I'm your only true friend now
They, they'll betray
I'm forever there
chorus
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
chorus
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
verse
You, you're my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You, you're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
verse
Do, do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do, do my deeds
For you're the one who's shamed
chorus
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
chorus
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
bridge
I'm your dream
I'm your eyes
I'm your pain
I'm your dream (I'm your dream)
I'm your eyes (I'm your eyes)
I'm your pain (I'm your pain)
You know it's sad but true
verse
Hate, I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay, pay the price
Pay, for nothing's fair
verse
Hey, I'm your life
I'm the one who took you there
Hey, I'm your life
And I no longer care
chorus
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
outro
I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reason, alibis
I'm inside, open your eyes
I'm you
Sad but true
Writer(s): Lars Ulrich, James Alan Hetfield
