Verse 1
I sacrificed my world for you
Why didn’t you do the same?
My mind was strong and willing
Now somehow I’m to blame
I came back home broken
The work cut me to the bone
Cutting wood from dawn till dusk
Believing I’d bring us home
Verse 2
The days rolled by so quickly
My body weak each day
My heart stayed strong and faithful
Never drifting far away
Little did I know then
There was nothing left to save
I was fighting for tomorrow
While you quietly walked away
Chorus
I sacrificed my world for you
Every dream I knew
I placed tomorrow in your hands
Believing we’d see it through
I gave my heart
I gave my soul
I gave my every day
I sacrificed my world for you…
While yours slipped quietly away
Verse 3
You’d already made your journey
Long before I knew
I was still building futures
Still believing you
He came and stood beside you
I never saw the signs
While I was chasing daylight
You were leaving me behind
Bridge
If I’d held you closer
Instead of working late
Would love have found a reason
Or was it simply fate?
Some questions have no answers
Some wounds refuse to heal
The deepest cuts are often made
By things we never feel
Final Chorus
I sacrificed my world for you
Every dream I knew
I placed tomorrow in your hands
Believing we’d see it through
I gave my heart
I gave my soul
I gave my every day
I sacrificed my world for you…
And watched our love fade away
Outro
I sacrificed my world for you…
I’d do it all again…
If only you’d been standing there…
At the journey’s end.
