I Sacrificed More Than You'll Ever Lose
Unspoken Sacrifices: Reba McEntire's Profound Narrative
Lyrics
I fed the children
I took care of the children's needs
And I kissed them goodnight
I affectionately put the children to bed
You fed the jukebox
You spent money on the jukebox for entertainment
Till they turn out the lights
You spent time in bars until closing time
I bought the bacon
I provided financially for our household
While you bought the booze
You spent money on alcohol
I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose
I've made greater sacrifices than what you'll ever experience as losses
Needing new clothes with the money you spent
You spent money on personal indulgences instead of meeting family needs
On barbills and motels and women you met
You used money on bar expenses, hotels, and encounters with other women
But I stood the heartache that you put me through
I endured the emotional pain that you caused me
I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose
I've made sacrifices that exceed any losses you might experience
I gave up so much
I gave up a lot for this relationship
And now I'm giving up you
Now, I'm ending the relationship with you
It's too late to make up for
It's too late to compensate for the love you took for granted
The love that you used
The affection and care that you misused
I've had enough
I've reached my limit
I don't want you around
I no longer want you in my life
Don't look at me
Don't expect me to feel guilty
Like I let you down
Don't accuse me of failing you
You say I'm to blame
You blame me, but we both know the truth
But who's fooling who
We are both deceiving ourselves
I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose
I've sacrificed more than you can comprehend losing
Yeah I sacrificed more than you'll ever lose
Yes, I sacrificed more than you'll ever lose
