Compromise

Love is not a given
You’re not forgiven
But we all easily submit

You have forsaken
What you have taken
So 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?
I hold no disguise
You should know better

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 afterall 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 of my fears
And while you have wasted all of your tears

What about compromise?
Why do I pay the price?
Only you have the answers, answers

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
It’s not my ego
But if you go
I’d have so much to say
Did we pick a good fight to prove who’s wrong and who’s right?
Can we finally compromise?

Can we at least talk about it?
Can we at least compromise?
