Ballad Of Broken Expectations Lyrics

I loved that song, the one you know

I thought it came from a soul so bold

But then I found out that wasn't true

Someone else had sung it too

A melody that felt so right

Was borrowed, shared, lost to time

How many things do I hold so near

Turn out not to be what they appear?

The truth in lies we hold so dear

They don't fade or disappear

Broken expectations tore me apart

Leaving scars on my once scarless heart

Oh, take a good look at what you see

It's not always what it seems to be

When the truth breaks free, things fall apart

The love you once held, will soon depart

Catch a glimpse, try to watch them fade

All those dreams you thought you made

Oh, the weight of these sudden realizations

Has created a ballad of broken expectations

And then one day, my show was gone

Series cancelled before the end was upon

The story stopped, the curtains fell

Left with questions, answers no one would tell

The characters I loved so deep

Now frozen in a timeless sleep

Just another dream denied

And I was left so unsatisfied

The truth in lies we hold so dear

They don't fade or disappear

Broken expectations tore me apart

Leaving scars on my once scarless heart

Oh, take a good look at what you see

It's not always what it seems to be

When the truth breaks free, things fall apart

The love you once held, will soon depart

Catch a glimpse, try to watch them fade

All those dreams you thought you made

Oh, the weight of these sudden realizations

Has created a ballad of broken expectations

The truth to your limitations

The tales spun in conversation

The story of grand miscalculation

The ballad of broken expectations

The truth in lies we hold so dear

They don't fade or disappear

Broken expectations tore me apart

Leaving scars on my once scarless heart

Oh, take a good look at what you see

It's not always what it seems to be

When the truth breaks free, things fall apart

The love you once held, will soon depart

Catch a glimpse, try to watch them fade

All those dreams you thought you made

Oh, the weight of these sudden realizations

Has created a ballad of broken expectations

From songs to shows to silly nights

The things we love slip out of sight

But maybe that's the way it goes

Better hold it tight and let the world know

As long as you love it that's okay

Stop listening to what others have to say
