Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes callin'
And negativity lands
[Chorus]
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts livin'
In two separate worlds
And it's no sacrifice
It's no sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
[Instrumental]
Mutual misunderstandings
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns
[Chorus]
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts livin'
In two separate worlds
And it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
[Instrumental]
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
Two hearts living
In two separate worlds
And it's no sacrifice
It's no sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
