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 to 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
