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 choose this life this superficial lie constant compromise endless sacrifice pain, it saddens me to know the helplessness you feel you're light shines on my soul while a thousand 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 choose this life this superficial lie constant compromise endless sacrifice moments wasted isolated i'm escaping endless sacrifice moments wasted isolated i'm escaping endless sacrifice over the distance we try to make sense of somebody together while living apart striving for balance we rise to the challenge i'm staying connected in spite of circumstance all you've forsaken and all that you've done so that i can't give up this ongoing dream all we've forgotten or taken for granted alone we remember the endless sacrifice moments wasted isolated i'm escaping endless sacrifice
