Sacrifice

I gave myself up

Put my own life on the line

You never thanked me

All you do is whine

I tried to make amends

Hoped things woul work out in the end

I tried to hold your hand

You slapped it away

Then I left on demand

I sacrificed everything I own

I sacrificed myself

But you want me to leave you alone

I sacrificed everything for you

I sacrificed my life

Just to have it all fall through

Maybe this isn't real

Maybe it's all just a joke

And maybe life spins like a wheel

Then evaporates to smoke

Everything I've tried

I tried in vain

And nothing I can do

Can make things the same

Did I try too hard

Did I not try hard enough

And we were torn apart

Everything seems so tough

I sacrificed everything I own

I sacrificed myself

But you want me to leave you alone

I sacrificed everything for you

I sacrificed my life

Just to have it all fall through

Should I shout louder when I want your attention

My head just wanders into a new dimension

One where life expands

In which you understand

Your voice echoes like a wind chime

Can't we try this one more time

I feel so lost, I feel so confused

I can't live this way, in a way I feel I've been abused

I sacrificed everything I own

I sacrificed myself

But you want me to leave you alone

I sacrificed everything for you

I sacrificed my life

Just to have it all fall through
