The Promise In Compromise

Tokyo Rose


We always get such little time 
So every minute counts for more like 
seasons changing 
while hearts keep aching for warmth 
I just can't help but feel like it's a crime 
to want to keep a tight grip on 
what we're sharing 
because I know it's tearing you apart 

Forgive me 
if I'm wrong, but I 
never said I wouldn't make you cry 
Now I'm begging 
for another try 
to keep the promise in a compromise 

The simple things never come easy 
We'll work it somehow, because it's 
not worth faking 
a love that's not worth making this tough 
It isn't a question of if it's right 
but if it's right for now 
With all I'm taking 
not sure I'm really giving you enough 

I know (I know it's hard on you) 
it's hard on you. It's true 
for me too (I know it's hard on you) 
But know (Baby you've got to know) 
I'd give it all for you 
if you just asked me to
