Endless Sacrifice lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Cold, lying in my bed
Staring into darkness
Lost, I hear footsteps overhead
And my thoughts return again

[Hook 1]
Like a child who's run away
And won't be coming back
Time keeps passing by
As night turns into day

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm so far away
And so alone
I need to see your face
To keep me sane
To make me whole

[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

[Hook 2]
Outside this barren room
The rain is pouring down
The emptiness inside
Is growing deeper still

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You're so far away
And so alone
You long for love's embrace
To keep you sane
To make you whole

[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 2]
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 circ*mstance

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 2]
Moments wasted, isolated
Time escaping, endless sacrifice!
Moments wasted, isolated
Time escaping, endless sacrifice!
