What Did You Expect? (Album: "Wishful Thinking" (2014)) (NECK DEEP LYRICS)
.
Six months has been and I'm still sick of everything that makes you smile,
I've been here before,
I'm just hoping this will die down
But I've learned from experience
That love is a risk and I'm just hoping you're hearing this,
So maybe you'll know just how it feels to be sitting here,
Wide awake and far from dreaming
Don't tell me that I'll be fine
My broken bones are caving in,
I feel you crawl beneath my skin,
You went and fucked this up
'Cuz you couldn't keep your legs shut
And you'll find me burning bridges,
Searching for some sense of distance,
Tearing out post trauma stitches that held me together,
So far gone my mind is racing,
Back and forth I can't stop pacing,
Thinking where we could have been if you'd just braved the weather
Fuck his car and fuck his money,
He might pay for you but he's got nothing
I won't be in sight when you realize that
I might just have been a more stable support,
To the life that you'll build
When he cuts himself short
Don't tell me that I'll be fine
I'm so sick of hoping you're right
Take all I am,
Tear me into pieces,
Deconstruct my bones and tell me you still don't know who I am
You've got some nerve thinking we could be friends,
Well what did you expect...a fucking compliment?
So take what's left of me,
A broken fragment from before
I guess I'll try to be the best I can without you
I know I'll find myself along this beaten track,
I'll have to let you go
And let these ghosts stay in the past
I guess I'll be fine
I've been here before,
I'm just hoping this will die down
But I've learned from experience
That love is a risk and I'm just hoping you're hearing this,
So maybe you'll know just how it feels to be sitting here,
Wide awake and far from dreaming
Don't tell me that I'll be fine
My broken bones are caving in,
I feel you crawl beneath my skin,
You went and fucked this up
'Cuz you couldn't keep your legs shut
And you'll find me burning bridges,
Searching for some sense of distance,
Tearing out post trauma stitches that held me together,
So far gone my mind is racing,
Back and forth I can't stop pacing,
Thinking where we could have been if you'd just braved the weather
Fuck his car and fuck his money,
He might pay for you but he's got nothing
I won't be in sight when you realize that
I might just have been a more stable support,
To the life that you'll build
When he cuts himself short
Don't tell me that I'll be fine
I'm so sick of hoping you're right
Take all I am,
Tear me into pieces,
Deconstruct my bones and tell me you still don't know who I am
You've got some nerve thinking we could be friends,
Well what did you expect...a fucking compliment?
So take what's left of me,
A broken fragment from before
I guess I'll try to be the best I can without you
I know I'll find myself along this beaten track,
I'll have to let you go
And let these ghosts stay in the past
I guess I'll be fine
