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
