"Sacrifice" lyrics

The act of giving up something that you want
To help someone that really needs
Ain't gotta be my best friend or my confidant
For me to make a—

Make a sacrifice
Make a sacrifice

It's much more fulfilling when I'm looking out for you
My heart has more rhythm when it's beating loud for you
It's like I'd trade it all
Just for one smile from you
Even if I had nothing
I'd give up me for you

I know you'd give your last breath for me to breathe
I know you come in second place just to help me take the lead

Selfless, yeah, I learned it all from you
Helpless, let me help you see it through
Gaining the world is uncomfortable
Ironically pitiful

Make a sacrifice
Make a sacrifice

A sacrifice

I'll dive in the deep end for you
So you don't have to leap
I'll give up my side of the bed
So you can have a place to sleep

Sacrifice your world for my second chance
Could never do enough to make up for your grace
Opened up your eyes to my circumstance
With mercy on your face

Make a sacrifice
Make a sacrifice

I don't deserve it, no (I don't deserve it, no)
Stayed around when I let you down (Stayed around, let you down)

Made a sacrifice
So I can live

A sacrifice
A sacrifice (Yeah, you gotta make a sacrifice)
