St. Vincent - Sad But True lyrics

Hey (Hey) i'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there hey (Hey)
I'm your life, I'm the one who cares
They (They)
They betray, I'm your only true friend now
They (They) they 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)
You're my mask, you're my cover, my shelter
You (You)
You're my mask, you're the one who's blamed
Do (Do)
Do my work, do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do (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

I'm your dream i'm your eyes
I'm your pain i'm your dream
I'm your eyes i'm your pain

Hate (Hate) i'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love pay (Pay)
Pay the price, pay, for nothing's fair
Hey (Hey)
I'm your life, I'm the one who took you there
Hey (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, it's sad but true

Sad but true sad but true
