Sacrificial Heart (Song)

It's too much of a need, to sacrifice the want,
And everything that I don't have, is everything I've got,
But to throw it all away,
Would be the disaster of today,
I don't need tomorrow,
Because I have now

CHORUS:
Throw it all away for you,
Or just to cut a loss,
I never really understood,
How much my need would cost
There's no need for destruction,
'Cos it's all been done,
We can't erase the past,
You are my only one

It's much too hard to cope right now,
If you knew, would you tell me how?
'Cos to throw this all away,
Would leave regret in yesterday,
I don't need a past tense,
Because I have now

CHORUS

I've spent my whole life,
Giving up my wants and needs,
Just to help everyone along,
Just to stem where they all bleed
It seems I've been forgotten,
My sacrificial heart,
And everything I've given up,
Has taken me in part
I was made to live for others,
And never for myself,
So everything I've ever known,
Was exactly what you've felt
I'll never be my own person,
Never breathe a breath of importance,
For I have been sucked dry,
And only live in accordance

I lived a lot of my life for other people. I wrote during a tough time.
