Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was born in a city
Where the winter nights don't ever sleep
So this life's always with me
The ice inside my veins will never bleed
Every time you try to fix me
I know you'll never find that missing piece
When you cry and say you miss me
I lie and tell you that I'll never leave, but
[PreChorus]
I sacrificed
Your love for more of the night
I try to put up a fight
Can't tie me down
[Chorus]
I don't want to sacrifice
For your love
I try
I don't want to sacrifice
But I love my time
[Verse 2]
I hold you through the toughest parts when you feel like it's the end
'Cause life is still worth living
Yeah, this life is still worth living
I can break you down and pick you up
And fuck like we are friends
But don't be catching feelings
Don't be out here catching feelings, 'cause
[PreChorus]
I sacrificed
Your love for more of the night
I try to put up a fight
Can't tie me down
[Chorus]
I don't want to sacrifice
For your love
I try
I don't want to sacrifice
But I love my time
[Chorus]
I don't want to sacrifice
For your love
I try
I don't want to sacrifice
But I love my time
[Bridge]
Oh, baby
I hope you know that I, I tried
Oh, baby
I hope you know I love
My time
[Outro]
I don't want to sacrifice
I don't want to
I try
I don't want to sacrifice
But I love my time
