Compromise

Well I'm trying not to be closed,
Without leaving myself open.
It's like everything I've known,
Has been intentionally broken.

And it truly feels like the summer's arrived again.
Well I guess it's time to pretend.

[Chorus]
I need one more try,
Give me one more chance,
I would rather die,
Than compromise.

Well I don't know what's going on,
It can't seem to find the words.
Maybe I'm going wrong,
Or maybe something worse.

I'm overusing it,
Confusing it,
And I just can't shake the feeling I'm losing it.
Maybe I just can't be trusted.

[Chorus]
I need one more try,
Give me one more chance,
I would rather die,
Than compromise.

I know, you know,
There's nothing else left so I'll go,
And maybe you'll be fine in time my dear.

So take it, I hate it,
I got to put it back but it won't fit,
And not everything I need is right here.

Well I'm trying not to be closed,
Without leaving myself open.
It's like everything I've known,
Has been intentionally broken.

And it truly feels like the summer's arrived again.
Well I guess it's time to pretend.

[Final Chorus]
I need one more try,
Give me one more chance,
I would rather die,
Than compromise.
