Lyrics

Sacrifice

[Verse 1]

Who is the one that makes you happy?

Who is the one that always makes you laugh?

Who is the reason you were smiling

And dragged you through these times so rough?

I was the one that made you happy

I was the one that eased the pain

But I'm the reason that you're crying now

My own tears scattered by the rain

[Chorus]

You can sacrifice me

You can sacrifice me

You can set me free

You can be who you wanna be

[Verse 1]

Deeper than deep you took me on a trip baby

You shared your wildest dreams and more

You dare me to express my feelings to you

I never felt that need before

But suddenly you needed freedom

You felt the need to break free

You started drowning in your sorrow

You didn't wanna know I had the key

[Chorus]

You can sacrifice me

You can sacrifice me

You can set me free

You can be who you wanna

You can be who you wanna be

You, you, you, you, you

You can sacrifice me, sacrifice me

You can be who you wanna

You can be who you wanna be
