The Promise In Compromise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
