Self Sacrifice

Wish that I could lie myself to sleep
But we both know that’s not what I need
I try my best to do what’s best for me
So I’ll be here chasing sheep until I dream
You know what I mean (You know what I mean)
There’s one thing in the movies that can make my heart drop
Other than the times when they kill the family dog
Wish that I could cry for us the way I cried tonight
But I’m a sucker for self sacrifice
The horror and the thrills ain’t got nothin' on you
Try my best to feel but there’s nothin' left to do
Look for my reaction, anything to pick a fight
Still I’ma sucker for self sacrifice
Tryin' on some shoes made of concrete (Got some new shoes)
Got a sinkin' feeling but did I cheat?
You can call the cops, call the Police (Whoty-who?)
But there’s nothin' they can do
There’s no help for me
No help for me (I gotta face it)
There’s one thing in the movies that can make my heart drop
Other than the times when they kill the family dog
Wish that I could cry for us the way I cried tonight
But I’m a sucker for self sacrifice
The horror and the thrills ain’t got nothin' on you
Try my best to feel but there’s nothin' left to do
Look for my reaction, anything to pick a fight
'Til I’ma sucker for self sacrifice
Still I’ma sucker for self sacrifice
I’m to my neck in fucking metaphors
I know you wanted me but you wanted more
So I’ll keep it simple and I’ll say it plain
I never loved you and you’re not to blame
There’s one thing in the movies that can make my heart drop
Other than the times when they kill the family dog
Wish that I could cry for us the way I cried tonight
But I’m a sucker for self sacrifice
The horror and the thrills ain’t got nothin' on you
Try my best to feel but there’s nothin' left to do
Look for my reaction, anything to pick a fight
Still I’ma sucker for self sacrifice
