Sacrificial Love Lyrics

They don't write the story

They read what we provide

The love that they once offered

To me now is denied

If you need someone to falter

To take the ugly fall

I'm just a state away I'll take the call

And let me be the bad guy

The one-note silhouette

The brooding figure in your past

Let me be the bad guy

Your shame and your dismay

The sadness written on your face

They don't hear the whispers

They just see the signs

The help they once provided

When I was young, forgotten when I arrived

If you need someone to blame

Unholy scapegoat for your pain

I'm more than happy now to shoulder all that shame

Where do I put the love?

I gave it to myself and feel it double
