Compromise

Love is not a given You're not forgiven But we all easily submit You have forsaken What you have taken And we all still incomplete I thought we were playing a similar game And after these years, it's still been the same And you, of all people, still have your name What about compromise? It's not I don't want you, I want you But I need you to be A little bit faithful and grateful and loyal to my needs Don't think I was selfish, I was selfless And after all I've given you It's not I don't love you, I love you Well, at least I try to Trust is not an object You could reject But we all easily believe You have been waiting And all I've been saying "Please be there for me" It's not like we got a thousand years I've yet to express to you all my fears And while you have wasted all of your tears What about compromise? Why do I pay the price? (Why do I pay the price?) It's not I don't want you, I want you But I need you to be A little bit faithful and grateful and loyal to my needs Don't think I was selfish, I was selfless And after all I've given you It's not I don't love you, I love you Well, at least I try to I know I'm not perfect, but I deserve respect And after all that's said and done You remain the only one in my heart So did we pick a good fight To prove who's wrong and who's right? Can we finally compromise? It's not I don't want you, I want you But I need you to be A little bit faithful and grateful and loyal to my needs Don't think I was selfish, I was selfless And after all I've given you It's not I don't love you, I love you Well, at least I try to It's not I don't want you, I want you But I need you to be A little bit faithful and grateful and loyal to my needs Don't think I was selfish, I was selfless And after all I've given you It's not I don't love you, I love you Well, at least I try to Compromise
