Compromise, it used to be my choice
always afraid to speak or raise my voice
Adjustment used to be my only way
thought everything would work out OK
Frustration and well-hidden anger
anguish and force-fed denial
That's no way to live!
One too many times I turned the other cheek
I used to hate myself for being way too weak
I've reached a point where I must speak my mind
silence equals death, I leave regrets behind
Frustration and well-hidden anger
anguish and force-fed denial
That's no way to live!
I will not bow down
it's my turn to win
That's no way to live!
now it's my turn to win!
