Expectations Lyrics
I drove really fast before I hit the wall
I was punch drunk, spinnin' round, heading for a fall
Do or die now, got scared, so I stalled
You can have it all
Your eyes inside the back of my mind
Stars collide to see who outshines
Your eyes inside the back of my mind
It's making me blind
We can hate
We can hate each other
We can be down then fuck one another
We can hold it up, then set it on fire
Life is sacrifice and you can be a martyr
But it's more than I can stand
When you're looking down on me
Cause I can't live up to you, that makes me incomplete
I never wanted anything more
So I'll just say good-bye and watch you walk out the door
I want to be all you want me to be
I want to be all you think that you see
Would you leave me here when nobody cares?
I tried really hard not to care at all
Medicate myself
Xanax, alcohol
My admissions made me feel so small
You can keep it all
I can change
We can change for each other
We can let go and accept one another
We can tear it down to the ground and start over
Life is compromise [x2]
So if I let you down then I'll pick you up again
In the end
Suspend confidence in me to come through
To be who I want to be and to do what I want to do
Never turn my back on you
[Repeat Chorus]
I was punch drunk, spinnin' round, heading for a fall
Do or die now, got scared, so I stalled
You can have it all
Your eyes inside the back of my mind
Stars collide to see who outshines
Your eyes inside the back of my mind
It's making me blind
We can hate
We can hate each other
We can be down then fuck one another
We can hold it up, then set it on fire
Life is sacrifice and you can be a martyr
But it's more than I can stand
When you're looking down on me
Cause I can't live up to you, that makes me incomplete
I never wanted anything more
So I'll just say good-bye and watch you walk out the door
I want to be all you want me to be
I want to be all you think that you see
Would you leave me here when nobody cares?
I tried really hard not to care at all
Medicate myself
Xanax, alcohol
My admissions made me feel so small
You can keep it all
I can change
We can change for each other
We can let go and accept one another
We can tear it down to the ground and start over
Life is compromise [x2]
So if I let you down then I'll pick you up again
In the end
Suspend confidence in me to come through
To be who I want to be and to do what I want to do
Never turn my back on you

sounds like a relationship where the girl has very high expectations on her man, he , on the other hand values her over anything else and therefore does everything to live up to what she wants
"I drove really fast before I hit the wall I was punch drunk, spinnin' round, heading for a fall Do or die now, got scared, so I stalled"
everything were running smoothly until he realized what his life was becoming and finally understood that it couldnt go on like before
"Your eyes inside the back of my mind Stars collide to see who outshines Your eyes inside the back of my mind It's making me blind
We can hold it up, then set it on fire Life is sacrifice and you can be a martyr But it's more than I can stand When you're looking down on me Cause I can't live up to you, that makes me incomplete""
he's very casious of their fragile relationship, so he wants to be the perfect man, live up to and exceed her expectations, something that demands all his attention and makes him forget more important matters
"I never wanted anything more So I'll just say good-bye and watch you walk out the door"
even when he realizes he's loosing her, he cant do anything that might make matters worse....
"Would you leave me here when nobody cares? I tried really hard not to care at all Medicate myself Xanax, alcohol My admissions made me feel so small You can keep it all"
he starts to realize he didnt do anything wrong and everything was her fault
"We can change for each other We can let go and accept one another We can tear it down to the ground and start over Life is compromise [x2] So if I let you down then I'll pick you up again In the end Suspend confidence in me to come through To be who I want to be and to do what I want to do Never turn my back on you"
finally the chick realizes maybe she didnt accept him for who he was and therefore their relationship immediatly starts getting better, they start from the top and then lived happy everafter =D
now i hope you learnt something new from my long ass post, kids
