Sacrifice

I always show up for things I really want
But sometimes I see the hurt
Like a cat with a string I taunt
I see it all in retrospect, but seldom in the moment
So I’m left with regret
Realize my mistakes while we decompress
I reflect- Lack of action IS an action
So own it, can’t go back son!
No one can capture the moments
Late my doing, you looked forward now it’s ruined

Hook:
I know that I do it
(Sacrifice and I see ya!)
So close, let me prove it
I know that I do it
(Sacrifice and I see ya!)
So close, let me prove it

Wanna say I’m sorry, and I will
But I know it won’t change how I made you feel
All I can do is pay it forward, keep it real
Know if I can’t keep up with my fam, they all sadder
Stopped asking em’ what’s the matter
Actions outta character, more like my youth
Thought I knew the truth
But there’s no way
Digging through my mind like the crates
Let it out in the booth
How can I be real with you, when my inside lies to me too?

My pain drives me
But agony in your face still surprise me
Reflecting allows me to know it
Time allows me to show it
I’m a son, I’m in debt to the sun
Just smart enough not to own a gun
Love life like it was my only one
This shouldn’t be so hard
But it’s sacrifice!
Sometimes I sleep till the night
Traded this for that
I’m aware of the choice
Found my voice, but can’t yet rejoice
There are things that precede it
Missing you… but know if i don’t feed it
The fire dies
Drive keeps you alive
Everyone wants to know they’re of use
