Lyrics for Jordan's 1'st Choice

Tell me how could you compromise yourself like this? Tell me how could you blame anyone Else when you aren't really committed? Tell me where was your head when you broke that promise to yourself? The one where you don't forget every Life lesson that happened before your eyes So you don't wake up to regret she's gone years away You had hopes and dreams of a day Where everything, everything, everything would come together You wouldn't have to be so scared Are we just working till a day we decide we've had enough? All along, we were strong enough to be sick of it And put them back in their fucking place We never asked for this responsibility, we never in this together The reality that you know is just behind your idea Of society, security and self Am I just fucked up, Cause i can't remember the last time any of this made sense The last time I could stand up to myself Street faces all blend into one They ask for spare change Am I forgetting what it looks like from the other side? Have I forgotten where I've come from? Are we just working till a day we decide we've had enough? All along, we were strong enough to be sick of it And put them back in their fucking place We never asked for this responsibility, we never in this together
