lyrics

Alli and I - Compromise (A Cherry Sprite)

Every time I let my mind fall off the face,
Of the earth and into space,
I try to fake I make mistakes I lie awake.

I sleep all day count sheep all night,
And to my dismay I think I might
Go with my mind to outer space
Forget today, forget this life.

Don’t buy these lies, you’ll pay the price.
Don’t sacrifice, you’ll Compromise.

I try so hard reach for the stars from dusk ’til dawn,
I’m skating on, but my dreams just fade like stars at day,
And before I sleep, my tears awake.

I would cry myself to sleep at night,
But the tears just keep my mind alive,
So I lie awake, I like to make you think I’m fine,
But I’m not alright.

Don’t buy these lies, you’ll pay the price,
Don’t sacrifice, you’ll Compromise.

Don’t firefight, don’t walk on ice, it’s no surprise you’re telling lies.
I’ve caught you there so many times, you cannot see that I’m not blind.
I’ve pulled you out of your demise, I’ve saved your life a thousand times,
You think I’m wrong, you close your eyes, you’ve given up on,
Your path of light.
What do you think goes through my mind? I try to help; you criticize.
It’s over and I only find that you hate my words, you’re a firefight.

And the things you say to me; prove that you believe,
The lies beneath your skin; they’ve corrupted you, you’ve welcomed them.
But I don’t just believe, you can’t just pass them on to me.
‘Cause I don’t just believe, don’t lay that curse on me.
Don’t, don’t, you lay, that curse on me.

Don’t buy these lies, you’ll pay the price,
Don’t sacrifice, you’ll Compromise.
Don’t firefight. And don’t, don’t, don’t walk on ice,
It’s no surprise you’re telling lies.
