The Sacrifice of Nothing More

The Sacrifice of "Nothing More"

It’s just a crush.
Nothing more.

You came along when I needed a savior
Someone to pull me through somehow.

This is the last smile
That I’ll fake
For the sake of being with you.

I’ve pretended to hate you
To do everything you want me to.
This is the last time I’ll take the pain
For the sake of being with you.

I’ve endured the consequences
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie.
This lack of self control is never-ending.

You treated me like a stranger
And all the time I was loving you
All your poison words
They were once unstained.

I wanted to believe in you
I really trusted you
And every word you said.

It’s just love.
Nothing more.

I was loving you like a child
All the time you were whispering the same lie
I really trusted you.

I’m crying everyone’s tears
And there inside our private war
I died the night before.

It’s just another day that replays the same pain
Replays the same exchange
I have so much to do
I have to carry on.

I wonder if this grief will ever let me go?

I’m crying everyone’s tears
I have already paid for all my future sins
There’s nothing anyone can say to take this away.

It’s just heartbreak.
Nothing more.
