Blue Rodeo

Call me a liar, coward and a cheat
In my defense, what case could I possibly make
How could I deny the heart, so tender and sweet
How could I betray love so complete

Well it's hard to explain the troubles that I've made
Lucky is the man who learns from his mistakes
There is little left for the man who hesitates
Tell me what is gained by those who always take

So here's what's left of my heart
Yeah, it's all been torn apart
You say your hands are tied
And it's time to say goodbye

It still makes me wonder
And it makes me cry
Yes, it makes me wonder
And it makes me cry
How the best things are won with sacrifice

I can't stand the sight of my own reflection
Just don't like what I see
All I ever hear you sayin' to me
Is that I'm not the man I used to be

So take the veil from your eyes
This is who I've always been
I know it's not a pretty sight
Yeah, I tried but I failed

Still it makes me wonder
And it makes me cry
Yes, it makes me wonder
And it makes me cry

Yes, It makes me wonder
And it makes me cry
How the best things are won with sacrifice
Sacrifice...sacrifice...sacrifice
