Great Expectations

You were young
You knew it all
So sure you would do it all
Don't great expectations yield disappointment?
I'm sorry you're not the star
You seem to think you are
Don't great expectations yield disappointment?
Where is the faith now?

It's so weird to look in the mirror
There was no fear, there was no doubt
Just a puzzle now that gets no clearer
You're having trouble working it out

You want love and affection
She got the love, baby, wrong direction
Don't great expectations yield disappointment?
I'm sorry you're not the one
She wants when she's done
You know great expectations yield disappointment
Where is the faith now?

Used to like what you saw in the mirror
You didn't treasure what you found
It's tombstone blues as the light draws nearer
Maybe the new day will turn it around

You were young, you knew it all
Most days now it's just screw it all
Don't great expectations yield disappointment?
I'm sorry it's not the end you thought it would be, my friend
You know great expectations yield disappointment
Where is the faith now?
