We All Have

What sacrifices have you made in life?

“Some things look better, baby, just passin’ through.”

I’ve got nothing for this prompt, except for this song, which I’ve always liked, even though it’s not a happy tune. Have a great day, everyone.

Sacrifice

Song by Elton John

It’s a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation’s strong

Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands

Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passing through

And it’s no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It’s two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it’s no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It’s no sacrifice at all

Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act

We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns

Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passin’ through

And it’s no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It’s two hearts livin’
In two separate worlds
But, it’s no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It’s no sacrifice, at all

Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passin’ through

And it’s no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It’s two hearts livin’
In two separate worlds
But, it’s no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It’s no sacrifice, at all

No sacrifice, at all

No sacrifice, at all

No sacrifice, at all

No sacrifice, at all

    1. Thanks. I haven’t heard this song in a long time, but I still know all the words. Funny how I can forget why I went into a room, but I know every lyric from every song ever.
