Sacrifice

From day to day I know that I'm in all of your conversations You never have anything good to say about me That's okay, 'cause everyone's entitled to their own opinions 'Cause everyone's a critic, and even on your best days Someone's got something bad to say Yet I ignore the things I hear, ignore the things I fear And look past all that tries to bring me down And I know that I don't have much, I sacrifice a good life While I watch these bills keep adding up And I know that I'm not getting any younger as another year passes by I have to stop and wonder if it's all really worth the struggle Or that mirage of light I keep chasing at the end of the tunnel Will get any brighter or will it just fade away the closer I get The further it seems from reaching my dreams And I just don't know how much more I can take Before I give up and throw it all away When push comes to shove You gotta hold on, you gotta be strong And look for that light from above 'Cause everyone's out to bring you down And if you can't keep your head up Then your lost When push comes to shove You gotta hold on, you gotta be strong And look for that light from above 'Cause everyone's out to bring you down And if you can't keep your head up Then your lost I've seen better days been told better ways How to live and how to give, it's relative I walk with sedatives it's hell I live and home is sweet I'm killing myself softly my reflections show deep infections It's hard to be, I look at myself, I look at this life And all I feel is pain, God help me start again I gotta keep on, I gotta keep on pushin', 'Cause I somehow someway keep comin' up short Like everyday my mind is playin' tricks on me Everybody loves sunny days but I prefer gray ones And long nights because when the day comes It's just another 24 and I'm still numb Not so young I know what it takes, they say roll with the brakes And slip them ties with the fakes, I still get them shakes Just thinkin' 'bout this is right here two dub two Maybe this gonna be that year When push comes to shove You gotta hold on, you gotta be strong And look for that light from above 'Cause everyone's out to bring you down And if you can't keep your head up Then your lost When push comes to shove You gotta hold on, you gotta be strong And look for that light from above 'Cause everyone's out to bring you down And if you can't keep your head up Then your lost Everyone has to pay a price No matter what we sacrifice I hope it's worth it Nothing is for certain When push comes to shove You gotta hold on, you gotta be strong And look for that light from above 'Cause everyone's out to bring you down And if you can't keep your head up Then your lost ...
