Sad but True
Kid Rock/Metallica Lyrics

Hey (hey), I'm your life
I'm the one in control of your existence

I'm the one who takes you there
I'm the force behind your actions and decisions

Hey (hey), I'm your life
I'm the one who is responsible for shaping and guiding you

I'm the one who cares
I'm your only ally, the one who truly cares about your well-being

They (they), they betray
Others around you have betrayed your trust

I'm your only true friend now
I'm the only one you can trust and turn to

They (they), they'll betray
Others will inevitably betray you again

I'm forever there
I'm the constant presence in your life

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm responsible for bringing your aspirations to fruition

I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm the one who guides and motivates you when you have to take risks

I'm your pain when you can't feel
I'm the one who forces you to confront your fears and challenges

Sad but true
This may not be pleasant or desirable, but it's an undeniable fact

I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm the one who fuels your imagination and creativity

I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your source of perspective when you're disoriented or lost

I'm your pain while you repay
I'm the one who reminds you of your mistakes and wrongdoings

You know it's sad but true
You can't deny that my influence is both necessary and painful

I'm your dream, I'm your eyes
I'm the one who gives you visions of the future and clarity of sight

I'm your pain
I'm the one who makes you suffer, but ultimately grow

You know it's sad but true
You may not like what I put you through, but it's essential for your development

Hate (hate), I'm your hate
I embody your anger and negative emotions

I'm your hate when you want love
I'm the manifestation of your darkness and need for vengeance

Pay (pay), pay the price
You have to suffer the consequences of your actions

Pay for nothing's fair
There is no escape from the justice that I bring

And I no longer care
I'm reaching a point where your needs and desires are no longer relevant to me

I'm your truth, telling lies
I embody both honesty and deception, revealing and concealing the truth

I'm your reasoned alibies
I'm the one who helps you justify your actions, whether they're right or wrong

I'm inside, open your eyes
I'm a part of you, and you need to acknowledge and confront that fact

I'm you
I'm a reflection of your deepest fears, desires, and flaws

Sad but true
This is the reality of your existence and my role in it
