Why does it feel so hard 00:26
To give just a little trust 00:29
Feels like juggling in the dark 00:30
And all you end up is cut 00:33
Going along, getting along, believing 00:35
One day things will change but all you're feeling is 00:38
Compromise 00:41
I cannot explain it 00:44
Why we always take it 00:46
Compromise 00:48
We know what it gets us 00:50
So why don't we just make a 00:52
Compromise 00:55
Giving more than you can 01:26
Trying to make things work 01:28
Fighting in a ship on the ocean floor 01:30
Dying over who drowns first 01:33
Too hurt to try anymore and so you give in 01:35
Thinking one day they'll change but all you're feeling is 01:38

I don't want to start a fire 02:26
Just to watch the bridges burn 02:28
Good intentions seal our fate 02:30
When everybody takes a turn 02:33
Give what you get when you get what wasn't given 02:35
Fighting for the last word, all you end up feeling is 02:38

[English]

Why does it feel so hard
To give just a little trust
Feels like juggling in the dark
And all you end up is cut
Going along, getting along, believing
One day things will change but all you're feeling is
Compromise
I cannot explain it
Why we always take it
Compromise
We know what it gets us
So why don't we just make a
Compromise
Giving more than you can
Trying to make things work
Fighting in a ship on the ocean floor
Dying over who drowns first
Too hurt to try anymore and so you give in
Thinking one day they'll change but all you're feeling is
Compromise
I cannot explain it
Why we always take it
Compromise
We know what it gets us
So why don't we just make a
Compromise
I don't want to start a fire
Just to watch the bridges burn
Good intentions seal our fate
When everybody takes a turn
Give what you get when you get what wasn't given
Fighting for the last word, all you end up feeling is
Compromise
