Why does it feel so hard
To give just a little trust
Feels like juggling in the dark
And all you end up is cut
Going along getting along believing
One day things will change but all you feel is
Compromised
I cannot explain it
Why we always take it
Compromise
We know what it gets us
So why don't we just make a
Compromise
Compromise
Giving more than you can
Trying to make things work
Fighting in a ship on the ocean floor
Dying over who drowns first
Too hurt to try anymore and so you give in
Thinking one day they'll change but all you feel is
Compromised
I cannot explain it
Why we always take it
Compromise
We know what it gets us
So why don't we just make a
Compromise
Compromise
I don't want to start a fire
Just to watch bridges burn
Good intentions seal our fate
When everybody takes a turn
Give what you get when you get what wasn't given
Fighting for the last word, all you end up feel is
Compromise
Compromise
Compromise
