[Verse 1] I split my coat in two Gave you the warmer side Counted the coins in my palm And let you take the ride I told myself it’s fine When your name came first again Left my own door open So you could walk right in [Pre-Chorus] I keep the little losses Folded in my chest Every time you need me I just give the rest [Chorus] That’s what I call sacrifice I give you the best of me Take the long road, take my pride If it keeps you safe, I’ll breathe That’s what I call sacrifice (That’s what I call sacrifice) I lose a little, you stay bright That’s what I call sacrifice [Verse 2] I wore the tired shoes You could keep your good ones clean Watched the rain come down While you chased your better dream I learned to smile and say “Go on, I’m alright” But every yes I handed out Cost me part of my night [Pre-Chorus] I keep the little losses Folded in my chest Every time you need me I just give the rest [Chorus] That’s what I call sacrifice I give you the best of me Take the long road, take my pride If it keeps you safe, I’ll breathe That’s what I call sacrifice (That’s what I call sacrifice) I lose a little, you stay bright That’s what I call sacrifice [Bridge] And if I never get it back If my hands stay empty too I’d still choose the heavier road If it carried you I’d still choose it I’d still choose it [Final Chorus] That’s what I call sacrifice I give you the best of me Take the long road, take my pride If it keeps you safe, I’ll breathe That’s what I call sacrifice (That’s what I call sacrifice) I lose a little, you stay bright That’s what I call sacrifice
