[Verse 1] I walked away from easy answers From the comfort of delay I chose the weight of discipline Over dreams that fade away I’ve learned the cost of staying late When no one’s watching, no one’s near Every doubt I didn’t follow Brought me closer to right here [Pre-Chorus] It’s not luck It’s not fate It’s the choice I make [Chorus] Sacrifice It’s the line I had to cross Sacrifice It’s the measure of the cost Sacrifice What I give before I gain What I lose to change my name [Verse 2] I’ve felt the pull of giving up Of settling for almost true But I know the weight of regret Is heavier than seeing it through I don’t need the noise of crowds I don’t need a perfect sign If it asks for everything I decide if it’s mine [Pre-Chorus] Step by step Cut by cut This is built Not luck [Chorus] Sacrifice It’s the line I had to cross Sacrifice It’s the measure of the cost Sacrifice What I give before I gain What I lose to change my name [Bridge] I don’t win by chance I don’t rise by grace I stand because I stayed When it hurt to stay [spoken] Still moving Still choosing [Final Chorus] Sacrifice Not a word, a way of life Sacrifice Every day, every night Sacrifice What I give to move ahead So I don’t live What I regret [Outro, spoken] Nothing real comes free. You already know the price.
