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
