Endless Sacrifice

Cold, lying in my bed Staring into darkness Lost, I hear footsteps overhead And my thoughts return again Like a child who's run away And won't be coming back Time keeps passing by As night turns into day I'm so far away And so alone I need to see your face To keep me sane, to make me whole Try to stay alive Until I hear your voice I'm gonna lose my mind Someone tell me Why I chose this life? This superficial lie Constant compromise Endless sacrifice Pain, it saddens me to know The helplessness you feel Your light shines on my soul While a 1000 candles burn Outside this barren room The rain is pouring down The emptiness inside Is growing deeper still You're so far away And so alone You long for love's embrace To keep you sane, to make you whole Try to stay alive Until I hear your voice I'm gonna lose my mind Someone tell me Why I chose this life? This superficial lie Constant compromise Endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice Over the distance We try to make sense of surviving together While living apart Striving for balance We rise to the challenge of staying connected In spite of circumstance All you've forsaken And all that you've done So that I could live out this undying dream Won't be forgotten Or taken for granted I'll always remember your endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice
