Endless Sacrifice

[Verse 1]

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

[Refrain]

I'm so far away

And so alone

I need to see your face

To keep me sane, to make me whole

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Pain, it saddens me to know

The helplessness you feel

Your 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

[Refrain]

You're so far away

And so alone

You long for love's embrace

To keep you sane, to make you whole

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Moments wasted, isolated

Time escaping, endless sacrifice

Moments wasted, isolated

Time escaping, endless sacrifice

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

Moments wasted, isolated

Time escaping, endless sacrifice

Moments wasted, isolated

Time escaping, endless sacrifice
