Sad But True

A heavy riff-driven track from *Metallica (Black Album)*, 1991

Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares

Chorus

They
They betray
I'm your only true friend now
They
They'll betray
I'm forever there

Verse 2

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

Bridge

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

Verse 3

Hate
I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
Pay, for nothing's fair

Chorus

Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you here
Hey
I'm your life
And I no longer care

Outro

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
