This song is about divorce…that’s what the “sacrifice” is, and why there are “two hearts living in two separate worlds.” The divorce came about as a result of infidelity, but that is not the “sacrifice” to which he refers.

I listened a few more time, and to me it’s still vague, if the affair did or did not take place, or only in his mind and heart. Lets hear other opinions, see where this goes.

The song is a great lyric, Bernie Taupin said it was one of his favorite lyrics. From the first line, “it’s a human sign, when things go wrong” hint that something happened. Also, the second verse opens with “Mutual misunderstanding, after the fact” describes the situation after it’s come to light. Another point to consider is that Bernie was going through some marital troubles at the time he wrote this (late 1988)..they subsequently divorced in 1991. He also called it a bookend to “Your Song”.

(”after the fact”) that’s the phrase that nails it. I stand corrected. Makes the song even sadder !!!
