Lyrics submitted by Novartza , edited by icequeentt , micarli I think this song is about being tempted to have an affair - 'when the scent of her lingers and temptation's strong' and 'into the boundary of each married man sweet deceit comes calling. I think he is saying that it really isn't a sacrifice because it would be very damaging and it is better left- 'some thing looking better just passing through. That's the way I interpreted it as well. I agree with your explanation, but I understood it as if 'sacrifice' would be to stay with the person he's married to - thats why he says it's not sacrifice at all - to stay with her and not to go to temptation. Is this really a sacrifice?? Or just pride, misunderstandings between 2 hearts
