My mask cracks at the seams as the words come out my mouth
It was only three but they do so much damage
I mistake my sincerity for yours
I fed off of your validation
In my vulnerability I lay across the table
You dissect my heart as I give the tour
I am sacrifice

I thought your need for love would be fed by mine
I tried to fix you with my pain
I built a fortress with your touch
A covenant with your kiss
A future with your words
I am too trusting
I am sacrifice

My heart stopped responding to your promises
So I manipulated it to pretend
I set aside the demons to nurture you
I was tempted with the very sin you fell to
I am not angry with you
I just miss your touch
I am sacrifice
