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 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
