Something Of Ours

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
