High Expectations Lyrics by Iconika

Indecent Exposure

2017

[Verse:]
I gave you life, I gave you love
I gave you all of me
But nothing's ever good enough
I tried to keep you satisfied
Your expectations gonna leave you lonely
How could you say you love me?
Then throw it all away like that?
You know I didn't have it like that
I was depending on you to follow through
You was [?]
You're supposed to be a man

[Verse:]
But you couldn't put you're pride aside
You know what I was going through
You were there the day I lost my best friend
I just needed a friend
I was depending on you
(But you come through)
I just needed a friend
I was depending on you
(I was depending on you)

[Verse:]
I used to think about you everyday
I wish I could forget you for some days
I wanna look into your eyes again
So I can see what we could've
I know you wish you would'a, could'a, would'a, should'a
I know you wish you would'a, could'a, would'a, should'a
It's too late now
You wish you would'a, could'a, would'a
Wish you would'a, could'a, would'a, should'a
It's too late now
I used to think about you everyday
I wish I could forget it for some days
I wanna look into your eyes again
So I can see what we could've been

[Bridge 1:]
I gave up trust
I gave up friends
I gave up everthing
I let you get the best of me
I remember when you tested me
And it was destiny
We could've made history
But you'd rather be my enemy
And now you just a memory
Boy, you just another memory

[Bridge 2:]
I lost it all, I'm not afraid to lose it all again
I lost it all, I'm not afraid to lose it all again
I lost it all, I'm not afraid to lose it all again
I lost it all, I'm not afraid to lose it all again

[Outro:]
[?]
Even with that Grammy
[?]
You ain't a man if you can't keep your word
You ain't a man if you can't keep your word
You ain't a man if you can't keep your word
