Lyrics
Day and night I've been climbing the walls, an I can't sleep a wink
cause I've been thinking oh, that's all I seem to do white knuckling the bone
I watch the phone like it's a tombstone oo yeah, the memories just won't fade
you held the cup up to my lips the sweetest love I'd ever sipped but when I opened my eyes you'd taken my soul as a
sacrifice, sacrifice
sacrifice, sacrifice
cold as ice your silence cuts me like a knife sitting here naked
I always thought that a heart was sacred
beneath the alter there we stood, the oil burning in the wood
you raised my body to the flame now of love all I can claim is sacrifice.
sacrifice, sacrifice
sacrifice, sacrifice
sometimes you gotta give it up before you're ready to
repeat
