In Their Place

Sacrificial fool
Fighting wars that you can’t win
Standing up for someone
That won’t return the favor
Giving so much of yourself
You’ll find yourself empty
And lacking the strength
It takes to go on alone
They won’t be there to help
When the call is made
You chose wrong again
Backing the wrong side
In this battle you face
It’s not yours to win
You should’ve walked away
While you still could
And now you’ll have to face
The scars they leave behind
As they let you fall
In their place
