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 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
