"SACRIFICE" lyrics

Always gotta sacrifice to live my life
Is this the price for paradise?
The little sacrifice, still nothing's right
These endless nights aren't paradise

I tried to warn them that I was the problem
Nobody believed me though
Walk through the days feeling solemn
'Cause all of their ghosts, they won't let me go
Then they surround me, those hands wanna drown me
Now I feel my breathing slow
Wanted to show them the truth
But they hurt me, I'm caught in the undertow

People ignore, just wanna tell
Why do I help when I feel so wrong?
Not wanted here, guess all they see is what they want
And that's someone else
People ignore, just wanna tell
Why do I help when I feel so wrong?
Not wanted here, guess all they see is what they want
And that's someone else
I'm not so sure I'm getting out alive
Back to the wall, I'm struggling to survive
I'm not so sure I'm getting out alive
Is this the price?

Always gotta sacrifice to live my life
Is this the price for paradise?
The little sacrifice, still nothing's right
These endless nights aren't paradise
Just wanna scream and shout
Running, I can't get out
No matter how hard I try
Always gotta sacrifice to chase the light
Is this the price for paradise?

Smiling, no problems
Not if I can solve them before anybody knows
Trying to hold onto what is important
Feels like I'm a puppet show

People ignore, just wanna tell
Why do I help when I feel so wrong?
Not wanted here, guess all they see is what they want
And that's someone else
I'm not so sure I'm getting out alive
Back to the wall, I'm struggling to survive
I'm not so sure I'm getting out alive
Is this the price?

Always gotta sacrifice to live my life
Is this the price for paradise?
The little sacrifice, still nothing's right
These endless nights aren't paradise
Just wanna scream and shout
Running, I can't get out
No matter how hard I try
Always gotta sacrifice to chase the light
Is this the price for paradise?

I'm not so sure I'm getting out alive
Is this the price?

Always gotta sacrifice to live my life
Is this the price for paradise?
The little sacrifice, still nothing's right
These endless nights aren't paradise
Just wanna scream and shout
Running, I can't get out
No matter how hard I try
Always gotta sacrifice to chase the light
Is this the price for paradise?
