Expectation

Said the voice from afar:

Everything you ever told me

could have been a lie, we

may never have been in love.

Stuck on thinking that there is

always something to lose,

or a hit from above.



I don't need what I'm holding

onto to. I wish I knew.



But meanwhile



Fluctuations are aching my

soul, Expectation is taking its

toll. Fluctuations are aching

my soul'cause everything you

ever told me could have been



a lie we may never have

been in love.



And then I will escape, I'll

never ever have to see another

disappointed face, no one to

please. Every now and then,

it feels like, in all of the uni-

verse, there is nobody for me.



I told myself I wouldn't care,

no I wouldn't care.

But when she said she'd come

round I combed my hair,

yes I checked my hair.



Fluctuations are aching

my soul, Expectation is

taking its toll.
