98 MUTE - Great Expectations lyrics

rate me

When I look up at these hollowed walls of high achievement and storied victories<br>I can hear irony laughing ¡®cause you see pride where I see vanity<br>Impressing all of your friends has never been one of my intentions<br>My heart is set of different goals<br>I won't be a trophy for anyone<br>So sorry if I haven't quite lived up to your great expectations<br>You know if I could I'd walk on water for you but<br>I have limitations<br>Tell me when your ego gets hungry do you shake the smaller fruit off the family tree<br>And when you go to sleep do you forget to count the black sheep<br>Sometimes what's simple math to most doesn't add up when you get behind closed doors<br>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<br>The fact is I've committed no crime here<br>And I apologize for nothing so open up your eyes and try to realize<br>That we don't share the same worldview<br>I don't mean to disrespect but don't you ever forget<br>That I can't live my life for you
