Sacrifice Lyrics

It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong

Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes callin'
And negativity lands

Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all

Mutual misunderstandin'
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act

We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns

Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all

Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all

No sacrifice at all
No sacrifice at all
No sacrifice at all
No sacrifice at all

What is the Meaning of Sacrifice?

This classic tune delves into the complexities of relationships, particularly the struggles faced by couples living separate lives. The lyrics reflect the pain and heartache that often accompany a failing relationship, where misunderstandings and jealousy can lead to a cold, distant dynamic. Despite this, the song emphasizes that it's not a 'sacrifice' to let go when things are no longer working out - it's just a simple word signifying an end and possibly a new beginning. It's about understanding that sometimes love isn't enough to keep two hearts together if they exist in different worlds. The song beautifully captures the bittersweet reality of love, loss, and moving on. #LoveAndLoss #MovingOn
