Gave up the reputation A silent mouth so many provoking Compromised so much stuff All the compromise a one way street Sacrificed so much died within A journey that needs to be finished Suppose to get hired to take her out Never happened missed opportunities She found someone else happy for her Stayed home to be sober faded away Can't be around temptation or crazy Trying to stay in control but losing it Wanted job didn't get hired Still working for it not giving up Scared it will never happen The people talking never tried Easy to talk about everyone Never said anything about anyone
