Expectations Rose Lyrics

So many things I want to say

But too scared of being pushed away

That's how it was all day

So many things I want to try

But my guard's up when you're passing by

I can't help but deny

You know, I was thinking about the times

You've said you loved me first

You said it first, I said it more

Didn't mean to keep track of the score

You said you loved me most

I knew it couldn't be true

But of course, expectations rose

Just to be let down again

Remember when

I had to urge you to sleep

'Cause you wouldn't leave without telling me

Goodnight

We stayed up till midnight, oh

I had no fears that you'd leave

But now I'm starting to think that maybe

You might

I'll pretend we're alright, oh

Maybe 'cause you both liked her

Leaving me wondering, what's my self worth?

Please tell me, what do you see?

You know, I was thinking about the times

You've said you loved me first

You said it first, I said it more

Didn't mean to keep track of the score

You said you loved me most

I knew it couldn't be true

But of course, expectations rose

Just to be let down again

Remember when

I had to urge you to sleep

'Cause you wouldn't leave without telling me

Goodnight

We stayed up till midnight, oh

I had no fears that you'd leave

But now I'm starting to think that maybe

You might

I'll pretend we're alright, oh

I knew I'd always love you more

That's why I always closed my doors

Here I am, my last resort

Hoping you'll understand me through some words I wrote

You know, I was thinking about the times

You've said you loved me first

You said it first, I said it more

Didn't mean to keep track of the score

You said you loved me most

I knew it couldn't be true

But of course, expectations rose

Just to be let down again

Remember when

I had to urge you to sleep

'Cause you wouldn't leave without telling me

Goodnight

We stayed up till midnight, oh

You're here but nobody knows

That I feel like I'm not the one you chose

In sight, but still unknown

It's been this way

Ever since expectations rose
