Great Expectations Lyrics

Great Expectations lyrics

When I look up at these hollowed walls of high achievement and storied victories

I can hear irony laughing ¡®cause you see pride where I see vanity
Impressing all of your friends has never been one of my intentions 
My heart is set of different goals 
I won`t be a trophy for anyone  
So sorry if I haven`t quite lived up to your great expectations  
You know if I could I`d walk on water for you but 
I have limitations  
Tell me when your ego gets hungry do you shake the smaller fruit off the family
tree 
And when you go to sleep do you forget to count the black sheep  
Sometimes what`s simple math to most doesn`t add up when you get behind closed
doors  
A photo may speak a thousand words but do you really get the picture  I just
want a life to call my own is that too much to ask for 
The fact is I`ve committed no crime here 
and I apologize for nothing So open up your eyes and try to realize 
That we don`t share the same worldview 
I don`t mean to disrespect but don`t you ever forget  
That I can`t live my life for you
