We thought that we knew sacrifice
But we were far too young to know the price
Of the words that we spoke
Of the dreams that we shared
And I still find myself wishing for twice this lifetime
To give you all that you deserve
But it's been long and not so distant
And I can see you're settled right where you are
Don't give one breath to that thought
It's valued far less than the price that you bought
It's a hard sell, but nobody's waiting at the counter
And I stood there starry-eyed
Ready to give it all away
We thought that we knew sacrifice
But we were far too young to know the price
Of the words that we spoke
Of the dreams that we shared
And I still find myself wishing for twice this lifetime
To give you all that you deserve
But it's been long and not so distant
And I can see you're settled right where you are
