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'm 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   Think our pain is so unique      So tell me what I have to lose   I'm 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'm ready to feel these new world blues   So tell me what I have to lose   I'm ready to feel these new world blues      Life is not a compromise
