Life is not a compromise

Though it often turns to this

Unintended suicide

As if our fate's sealed with a kiss

We're all taught to rise above

Can't let ourselves be hurt by love

So tell me what I have to lose

I am ready to feel these new world blues

Dreams are only of a new world

Instead of making this one right

But run away is not the answer

Still we all want to take flight

Never knowing what we seek

We think our pain is so unique

So tell me what I have to lose

I am ready to feel these new world blues

Heroes are not to cry

So hold your head up high

The future is ours to see

So come on and rescue me

So tell me what I have to lose

I am ready to feel these new world blues

So tell me what I have to lose

I am ready to feel these new world blues

Life is not a compromise
