It's another compromise,

When you take into account all the lies he said

You've been dreaming for so long,

that he'll take you in his bed and make it yours

But you never took into account

the way he looked at her

And you'll never see it through the end

We all want something of ours

To make us the face that

stands out from the crowd

we all want something of ours

To shine like gold, taste like wine,

and bloom like a flower

It's been a long 30 years,

where did the time go you gave to him

Now you've gone and turned it in,

into a story that'll never end

What did you gain from all the pain

But you never took into account

the way he looked at her

And you'll never see it through to the end

We all want something of ours

To make us the face that stands out

from the crowd

We all want something of ours

To shine like gold, taste like wine,

and bloom like a flower

And still you hold on

To every old song

He didn't answer your calls for so long
