Alex Lyrics by Wild Child

Expectations

2018

[Intro]
Silly Alex don't think that way

[Verse 1]
I said I can't hold this in
So I'm gonna let it out right now
I wanna hold you close
You're acting like you want to hold you down

Don't ask me to
Change the man I am for you
I said don't ask me to
Change the man I am for you

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't get sad, decide to stay
Your heart is here, your head's away
The more you cry, the more I know
It's certain that you'll let me go

[Chorus]
I said oh my God, I've got my heart in my hands
Now my head is so heavy that I can't understand
Singing oh my golly, oh miss me oh my
I'm afraid that the moon pulled you out with the tide

[Verse 2]
I said I can't hold this in
So I'm gonna let it out right now
I want to hold you close
You're acting like I wanna hold you down

Alex, don't think that way
Unless you're gonna act on it
Alex, don't think that way
Unless you're gonna change the way it is

[Pre-Chorus]
And don't get sad, decide to stay
Your heart is here, your head's away
The more you cry, the more I know
It's certain that you'll let me go

[Chorus]
I said oh my God, I've got my heart in my hands
Now my head is so heavy that I can't understand
Singing oh my golly, oh miss me oh my
I'm afraid that the moon pulled you out with the tide

Oh my God, I've got my heart in my hands
Now my head is so heavy that I can't understand
Singing oh my golly, oh miss me oh my
I'm afraid that the moon pulled you out with the tide

[Outro]
Alex, don't think that way
