Love’s Sacrifice

[Verse 1]
You got dirty hands
Can't wash the stain off
And it rained too hard last night
And the water won’t drain off
The morning mirror will reveal
What you long tried to conceal
Looks like you paid the price
For cowardice in the face of love's sacrifice

[Chorus]
Love's sacrifice (Love's sacrifice)
Love's sacrifice (Love's sacrifice)

[Verse 2]
If you were a saint
You would have acted better
But there’s no time for prayer
And you lost her letters
Can't you see it in the stars?
The silver fendеrs of brand new cars
Looks like you should have thought twicе
Offered yourself as love's sacrifice

[Chorus]
Love's sacrifice (Love's sacrifice)
Love's sacrifice (Love's sacrifice)

[Bridge]
You keep your secrets hidden close
For when you wanna let off steam
One sin is bigger than pride
Guess you know what I mean
Can’t you see her in the splutters and coughs
Of TVs when they're all turned off now?

[Verse 3]
Now you’re on your own
And the nurses treat you kindly
You're a lonely man with no visitors
Love is blind
But you were blind, you couldn’t see
To give love graciously
Looks like you should have thought twice
About bearing the burden that is love's sacrifice

[Chorus]
Love's sacrifice (Love's sacrifice)
Love's sacrifice (Love's sacrifice)
Love's sacrifice (Love's sacrifice)
Love's sacrifice (Love's sacrifice)

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, love's sacrifice
Love's sacrifice (Love's sacrifice)
(Love's sacrifice)
(Love's sacrifice)
