Sacrifice

From day to day I know that I'm in all of your conversations
You never have anything good to say about me
That's okay, 'cause everyone's entitled to their own opinions
'Cause everyone's a critic, and even on your best days
Someone's got something bad to say

Yet I ignore the things I hear, ignore the things I fear
And look past all that tries to bring me down
And I know that I don't have much, I sacrifice a good life
While I watch these bills keep adding up

And I know that I'm not getting any younger as another year passes by
I have to stop and wonder if it's all really worth the struggle
Or that mirage of light I keep chasing at the end of the tunnel
Will get any brighter or will it just fade away the closer I get
The further it seems from reaching my dreams
And I just don't know how much more I can take
Before I give up and throw it all away

When push comes to shove
You gotta hold on, you gotta be strong
And look for that light from above
'Cause everyone's out to bring you down
And if you can't keep your head up
Then your lost

When push comes to shove
You gotta hold on, you gotta be strong
And look for that light from above
'Cause everyone's out to bring you down
And if you can't keep your head up
Then your lost

I've seen better days been told better ways
How to live and how to give, it's relative
I walk with sedatives it's hell I live and home is sweet
I'm killing myself softly my reflections show deep infections
It's hard to be, I look at myself, I look at this life
And all I feel is pain, God help me start again

I gotta keep on, I gotta keep on pushin',
'Cause I somehow someway keep comin' up short
Like everyday my mind is playin' tricks on me

Everybody loves sunny days but I prefer gray ones
And long nights because when the day comes
It's just another 24 and I'm still numb
Not so young I know what it takes, they say roll with the brakes
And slip them ties with the fakes, I still get them shakes
Just thinkin' 'bout this is right here two dub two
Maybe this gonna be that year

When push comes to shove
You gotta hold on, you gotta be strong
And look for that light from above
'Cause everyone's out to bring you down
And if you can't keep your head up
Then your lost

When push comes to shove
You gotta hold on, you gotta be strong
And look for that light from above
'Cause everyone's out to bring you down
And if you can't keep your head up
Then your lost

Everyone has to pay a price
No matter what we sacrifice
I hope it's worth it
Nothing is for certain

When push comes to shove
You gotta hold on, you gotta be strong
And look for that light from above
'Cause everyone's out to bring you down
And if you can't keep your head up
Then your lost
