Compromise - Imran Ajmain

Love is not a given
 You’re not forgiven
 But we all easily submit

You have forsaken
 What you have taken
 So we all still incomplete

I thought we were playing a similar game
 And after these years it’s still been the same
 And you, of all people, still have your name

Prechorus
 What about compromise?
 I hold no disguise
 You should know better

Chorus
 It’s not I don’t want you, I want you
 But I need you to be
 A little bit faithful and grateful and loyal to my needs
 Don’t think I was selfish, I was selfless
 And afterall I’ve given you
 It’s not I don’t love you, I love you
 Well, at least I try to

Trust is not an object
 You could reject
 But we all easily believe

You have been waiting
 And all I’ve been saying
 “Please be there for me”

It’s not like we got a thousand years
 I’ve yet to express to you all of my fears
 And while you have wasted all of your tears

Prechorus
 What about compromise?
 Why do I pay the price?
 Only you have the answers, answers

Chorus

Bridge
 I know I’m not perfect but I deserve respect
 And after all that’s said and done
 You remain the only one in my heart
 It’s not my ego
 But if you go
 I’d have so much to say
 Did we pick a good fight to prove who’s wrong and who’s right?
 Can we finally compromise?

Chorus x 2

Can we at least talk about it?
 Can we at least compromise?
