Sacrificial fool
Fighting wars that you can\u2019t win
Standing up for someone
That won\u2019t return the favor
Giving so much of yourself
You\u2019ll find yourself empty
And lacking the strength
It takes to go on alone
They won\u2019t be there to help
When the call is made
You chose wrong again
Backing the wrong side
In this battle you face
It\u2019s not yours to win
You should\u2019ve walked away
While you still could
And now you\u2019ll have to face
The scars they leave behind
As they let you fall
In their place<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
