Sacrifice Lyrics

there was a time when I can honestly say
you were the only one who'd paved my way
you were the one who'd helped me overcome
all of the demons inside my skin
but it's been a long time since you've held this hand
and since then I've grown from a boy to a man
I know that if you fall I will stand
you can never shake my confidence
I know that these are my own two arms
I know that these are my own two eyes
I know that these are my own true words
even if your approval is my sacrifice

I know that I have not fulfilled your plans
but I am starting to resent this guilt
hanging over me like a weeping willow tree
here's no fire can deface self-confidence
I know that these are my own two arms
I know that these are my own two eyes
I know that these are my own true words
even if your approval is my sacrifice

I was broken and I wanted too much
expected you to be so brave, but people don't change
I was frozen and I wanted your touch
expected you to be so brave, but people don't change
there was a time when I can honestly say
you were the only one who'd paved my way
you were the one who'd helped me overcome
all of the demons inside my skin
but it's been a long time since you've held this hand
and since then I've grown from a boy to a man
I know that if you fall I will stand
you can never shake this confidence

I know that these are my own two arms
I know that these are my own two eyes
I know that these are my own true words
even if your approval is my sacrifice
