Expectations

Expectations few
I took only what you gave
forevers non existant
that was my first mistake

empty promises
nirvana distorts the truth
a picture of happiness
I fell asleep and drew for u

Tomorrows tornadoe
came and swept you away
leaving only a path of destruction
through dreams of yesterday

I never expected forever
maybe you saw it in my eyes
all I knew was we were happy today
and you were worth the try

Forever you gave again
in return my trust u took
but your eyes fell only on other guys
i never got a second look

leaning on you for support
calling on you as a friend
throwing my expectations away
plunging into the deep end

you pushed me away
afraid i'd pull you under
said I could always count on you
where were you I wonder

when my family fell apart
and I needed you most of all
I expected you to be there
guess you meant to say you'd call

afraid of what you gave
best friends began to change
I went away to find myself
and came home just the same

giving it my all
with nothing left to give
I put my faith in you
and lost the will to live

I never expected anything
maybe a wish of luck
you said that you loved me
actually u said u wanted to **ck

all I needed was a chance
to try and make you happy
but you played me like a chump
behind my back and laughed at me

dating guys age 22
and comparing me to them
I asked you for help with school
but instead your drunk again

maybe Im good at english
but everything else was falling apart
Its hard to do a happiness project
at home alone in the dark

I never expected anything
I trusted you anyways
you said we'd always be friends
I never knew you'd change

you betrayed my trust
then left this mess behind
said to remember I did this
that it was my choice this time

You left without a reason
after 3 years of love
I was always there to wipe your tears
cheer you up and give a hug

for months i tortured myself
trying to figure out why
until one night you wrote me
ingniting feelings i thought had died

Something must be wrong
Why else would she write
i typed you an email
and thought about it all night

You called the next day
told me that you missed me
I never expected anything
you said I make you happy

asking for my friendship
expecting my forgiveness
without even a single reason
as to why you went and did this

so I asked for the truth
why you ran and left me neglected
you started running down a list
of all the things expected

calling me immature
attacking my lack of religion
I'm sorry I have to make do
with the family i was given

saying im not good enough
because i didnt graduate
blaming me because my parents split up
brushing it off as fate

convinced we wouldnt work
due to my absent occupation
when I slave for us on a daily basis
your the one with the expectations

I never expected anything
but what I gave freely to you
I never asked for anything more
then a friend and the honest truth

u promised me forever
swore that you'd be here
played a dozen older guys
and didnt appologize for a year

now you wanna be buddies
after you acted like i was crazy
pretended like we never met
and theres no reason to be angry

so you can continue playing games
stomping on my heart
telling me that you love me
while tearing my world apart

dating guys for fun
when you know i care the most
after 3 years of saying you love me
and 1 looking through me like a ghost

I never expected anything
i just wished to be together
and the only reason we cant
is because you expect forever

you claim to want something else
you claim to know someone better
you say were too different to ever work
and then u worry about forever?

How can the girl so scared of tomorrow
she ran away today
ever be sure shes running from something
if shes to afraid to stay
