It's another compromise

When you take into account all the lies he said, yeah

You've been dreaming for so long

That he'll take you in his bed and make it yours, yeah, yeah



But you never took into account

The way he looked at her

And you'll never see it through it 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



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 it 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

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah



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



We all want something of ours (It's another compromise when you take into account all the lies)

To shine like gold, taste like wine, and bloom like a flower (It's another compromise when you take into account all the lies)

He said, yeah
