Lyrics
Compromise
© 2015 Bruce Mills (SOCAN)
Change your story, tell me lies
Try to get me on your side
All you ever want from me
Is compromise
Say hello, wave goodbye
Don't explain the reasons why
You can't make up your mind
Always taking so much of my time
Nothing with you is just black or white
It's all compromise, yeah, yeah, yeah
Chorus
I'm tired of listening to all your excuses
The truth is you don't care who wins or who loses
You blame everyone in the world
For the trouble you make (for yourself)
Change your story, tell me lies
You got to keep me in your sight
All you ever want from me
Is compromise
Change directions, close your eyes
You're asking more than you realize
I don't know what you're hiding from me
I don't know what you're keeping inside
Everything is just so out of control
But you compromise, yeah, yeah, yeah
Chorus
I'm not here to do what you tell me to do
I'm not here to say what you want me to say
I'm not here to be what you want me to be for your life
Don't hold on to me so hard - I don't want to be your man
Just take a look at yourself and you will understand
No more compromise
