Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was born in a city

Where the winter nights don't ever sleep

So this life's always with me

The ice inside my veins will never bleed

Every time you try to fix me

I know you'll never find that missing piece

When you cry and say you miss me

I lie and tell you that I'll never leave, but

[PreChorus]

I sacrificed

Your love for more of the night

I try to put up a fight

Can't tie me down

[Chorus]

I don't want to sacrifice

For your love

I try

I don't want to sacrifice

But I love my time

[Verse 2]

I hold you through the toughest parts when you feel like it's the end

'Cause life is still worth living

Yeah, this life is still worth living

I can break you down and pick you up

And fuck like we are friends

But don't be catching feelings

Don't be out here catching feelings, 'cause

[PreChorus]

I sacrificed

Your love for more of the night

I try to put up a fight

Can't tie me down

[Chorus]

I don't want to sacrifice

For your love

I try

I don't want to sacrifice

But I love my time

[Chorus]

I don't want to sacrifice

For your love

I try

I don't want to sacrifice

But I love my time

[Bridge]

Oh, baby

I hope you know that I, I tried

Oh, baby

I hope you know I love

My time

[Outro]

I don't want to sacrifice

I don't want to

I try

I don't want to sacrifice

But I love my time
