I dont really want to dance with you

We all do things that we don't want to do.

For some of us, its working at our lame summer jobs. Or maybe its doing homework. Or perhaps chores you're parents (who still think they have full rein over you ) tell you to do.

For me, its usually doing something that i'm totally not into but I do it because my friends, or people i'm with, really want too.

To me this is quite a large sacrafice but most of the time, im happy to do it. I find myself conforming to plans that, on any given day, when i'm not with these people, i wouldnt normally do. And lately its not just plans that im conforming too. Its the types of music we listen to when we drive, or the people we are continuously hanging out with. Why can't we try something different? Why do we have to go to a different club every weekend? Why cant we do something I want to do for a change? I can question these things all i want, but i know the answer is because certain people thouroughly enjoy these activies even tho i may not.
Yet I find myself being the only one giving in to others. Why is it that we constantly do these things that you want to do but when there are certain things i want to do, im on my own? I thought comprimise was supposed to go both ways?

I shouldnt have to have a completely different set of friends just do go and do the things that I enjoy. I should be able to go out with all of my friends, and do something that i like doing, weather they like it or not.

Because I do it for you.
