Compromise

It takes days to catch up From just one of those nights Bleary eyes, a short fuse Is the cause of most of these fights No one said it would be easy It's been while since she appeased me It'll take another way Passion, patience, and pace I won't, she won't, there's no room for giving in I'm home in our home, no setback will leave us grim I'm amazed at how much I admit that I'm wrong An earlier version of this Would've split and penned a song We've got those to keep alive We can't fold under our pride This approach is alright Don't fake it, don't take it, don't lie I won't, she won't, compromise and we all win My notes and her quotes On my face a contented grin I have the brittlest bones on my shins and I protect them There's cuts on my skin and last I checked I still lived If we heard every word every day this wouldn't work right We've found a calm in the middle of the fray and we both go light I won't, she won't, compromise and we all win My notes and her quotes On my face a contented grin I have the brittlest bones on my shins and I protect them There's cuts on my skin and last I checked I still lived If we heard every word every day this wouldn't work right We've found a calm in the middle of the fray and we both go light
