Lyrics
You talk of our future
As if it's been set in stone
I err on the side of caution
I'm accustomed to being alone

While I know the things I do
Are not acceptable to you
It seems the more I try to stop
The more I feel I'm giving up

I want to be wanted
I strive to be worth it
You thought I was thoughtless
Then walk - see if I care less

Maybe I'm in denial
Reinvention is drawing near

Well, she's a sympathetic ear
Making sense of all I fear
And though I know I'm doing wrong
I feel I've got to carry on

I'm giving up hope of finding perfection
I find it hard enough just seeking affection
You think it's a joke - then why aren't you laughing?
I'm a realist - is that such a bad thing?

No giving in, no compromises
No giving in, no compromises
No giving in, no compromises
No giving in, no compromises
No compromises, no compromises
No compromises, no compromises
No compromises, no compromises
No compromises, no compromises

I'm not the person I once was
I've been corrupted by my cause
Well, I stopped caring long ago
But still emotions sometimes show
It's not simple like it was
And I think that's just because
This is my one state of affairs
In a State that's not aware

I want to be wanted
I strive to be worth it
You thought I was thoughtless
Then walk, go on - just see if I care less

Tell me you don't need me
And then I can be free
Tell me you don't need me
And then I can be free

No giving in, no compromises
