Sacrifice

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
