I’ve tried to follow
I’ve often failed
I’ve tried to swallow
This bitter pill
I’ll take the glory
But skip the pain
Edit the story
To fit my frame
And now my shame has me
sparring for a fight
This town ain’t big enough
for me and me tonight
My ego’s on the altar now
Escaping through
the flames somehow
I took so long to realise
That loving equals sacrifice
I’m left defending
Your left defending
These hollow wins
These hollow wins
This trip is ending
Where freedom begins
And now my fear leaves
one more unfinished song
I’ll hide in here
till the critics’ pens have gone
My ego’s on the altar now
Escaping through
the flames somehow
I took so long to realise
That loving equals sacrifice
My ego’s on the altar now
Escaping through
the flames somehow
I took so long to realise
That loving equals sacrifice
