James Droll - Self Sacrifice Lyrics

v1:
wish that i could lie myself to sleep
but we both know that’s not what we need
i try my best to do what’s best for me
so i’ll lay here counting breaths until i dream
(you know what i mean)

v2:
trying on some shoes made of concrete
got a sinking feeling but did i cheat
you can call the cops call the police
there’s nothing they can do there’s no help for me

ch:
(guess i gotta face it)
(i’ve gotta say it)
there’s one thing in the movies that can make my heart drop
other than the times when they kill the family dog
i 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 nothing on you
i try my best to feel but there’s nothing you can do
look for my reaction, anything to pick a fight
still i’m a sucker for self sacrifice

br:
up to my neck in fuckin’ 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
