No Compromise

I love you for who you are

Not who I want you to be

I learned long ago that compromise doesn’t work

If you aren’t yourself you have nothing

You should know what you are getting into

Otherwise the beginning will be the end

The shadows will draw nearer

As tomorrow’s troubles come at a price

Your freedom means more than mine

My heart will always be chained

But you could still flap your wings

Better to end with a song

Than to descend into the abyss
