6 FEET & COMPROMISE

I WANTED THE HIGH SO BAD,THE WORDS SO BAD,
I SETTLED FOR PENCIL STUBS AND CHEAP WINE,
I WANTED THE SKY SO BAD,
I SETTLED FOR A STARLESS CEILING,
I WANTED THE ROMANCE SO BAD,
I SETTLED FOR OUR KISSES LAST FALL,
I WANTED REASSURANCE SO BAD,
I SETTLED FOR A PAT ON THE BACK,
I WANTED YOU SO BAD,
I SETLLED FOR A MEMORY TORN,
I WANTED THE TRUTH SO BAD,
I SETTLED FOR THE EASY LIES,
I WANTED THE PAIN SO BAD,
I SETTLED FOR A RAZOR CUT,
I WANTED DEATH SO BAD,
I SETTLED FOR A GLIMMER INSTEAD,
CONTENMENT WAS NEVER A PRIZE,
IT WAS ALWAYS A COMPROMISE......
