Expectation Lyrics by Gabriel ‘Maxwell’ Gates

Brandy, Paper & Strings

2020

She walked inside the saloon
And started drinking
Without giving a damn
About what the crowd was thinking
Someone broke her heart
And the addiction she was in
Was helping through these moments
Where she couldn't sleep
Sick of everything
She drowned herself into this bottle
As your glass gets filled
With tears that falls off from a crying face
She can not recognize herself
Wven in a mirror
Her disguise is not working no more
So consider
You can see deep on her eyes
That her smile isn't true
And she's not alright
She wants to know the reason
Why life goes this way
You cannot blame love
The problem is with people
That don't feel the same as you
When you expect that
Over and over again
It's hard to watch
You picking up the pieces from your heart
And trying to glue them
Once they're not anymore on the ground
The alcohol don't have any effect against love
You think it has
But deep inside
You know that this is way too wrong
You live your life drinking
Because it makes you happy
But when you wake up sober
It's all in vain, sadly
I have seen you drawing hearts with knives
In a few trees
You just want to drown yourself in love
Not in a bottle of beer
You can see deep on her eyes
That her smile isn't true
And she's not alright
She wants to know the reason
Why life goes this way
You cannot blame love
The problem is with people
That don't feel the same as you
When you expect that
Over and over again
You cannot blame love
Over and over again
