Lyrics
Sacrifice
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong
Into the boundry
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes callin'
And negativity lands
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealously burns
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
It's no sacrifice at all
No sacrifice at all
It's no sacrifice at all
No sacrifice at all
