Elton John – Sacrifice Lyrics 7 years ago
Just wanted to add this which I think is one best lines in the text:

No tears do damn you - He is so cold and his heart is so hardened that he does not cry. If he did, it would mean that he still had feelings for her.

This is even worse for her, because she wants forgiveness, but his heart has been hardened, so he does not shed a tear.

I'm reminded of a song by Burl Ives: a Little Bitty Tear Let me Down

Elton John – Sacrifice Lyrics 7 years ago
It's a human sign
When things go wrong = Things have gone wrong. It's human nature.

When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong = He is tempted to forgive her.

Into the boundary
of each married man = But no married man can acept that his wife is unfaithful.

Sweet deceit comes calling
and negativity lands = She has been unfaithful.

Cold cold heart
hardened by you = His heart is cold.

Some things look better, baby
just passing through = He knows she regrets it and that it was not worth it.

But

Divorce / goodbye is not a sacrifice, just a simple word. He has no feelings for her anymore. He ends it.



Mutual misunderstanding
After the FIGHT = They fight

Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act = They isolate themselves from eachother

We lose direction
No stone unturned = They cant make it work

No tears to damn you = He does not cry, even though
When jealousy burns = Jealousy burns

Cold cold heart
hardened by you = His heart is cold.

Some things look better, baby
just passing through = He knows she regrets it and that it was not worth it, but there is nothing left to do now.

Divorce is not a sacrifice, just a simple word.

They are two hearts living
In two separate worlds

It's no scarifice at all.
