Sacrifices

You said we all have to make sacrifices at
one time or another in our lives
You don't have to tell me twice
That is a fact I know all to well
If I had to make some of
those same sacrifices again
I would make them
without a moment's hesitation
Would you?

I'm starting to see that our definitions of the word
sacrifice are very different
To you  sacrifice means getting your way
every time you feel you should
To me the word sacrifice means
putting the needs of others before my own

I can't do it anymore, not like this
I won't sacrifice my happiness to make
you feel better
I  love you but
it's time for me to put myself first
