What Did You Expect Lyrics - Alive Like Me

I'm gonna say something you don't want to hear 

You can't live up to lies that you have built inside 

Your head for all these years 

You're gonna cave just like we expected and 

When you break I will stand collected staring at the floor 

Watching you pick up the broken pieces 

Are you 

Holding back the truth from me so much that 

I can start to see right through you 

Why did it take so long 

To get across the message I'll have to get 

This off of my chest 

Slow down 

You keep on running when the problem is yourself 

So pick your head up and change direction 

While you still recognize reflections of yourself 

Slow down 

The problem's you and no one else 

And if you can close your eyes 

And fall asleep tonight 

You can escape this nightmare 

That you call your life 

While your actions are burning bridges down 

Shutting doors that your words cannot reopen anymore 

Knowing it only gets worse when you wake up 

Thinking that there's something real 

When fallacy is all you feel, just tell me 

Why did it take so long 

To get across the message 

I'll have to get this off of my chest 

Slow down 

You keep on running when the problem is yourself 

So pick your head up and change direction 

While you still recognize reflections of yourself 

Slow down 

The problem's you and no one else 

What did you expect from being so deceiving? 

Every other second you had me believing 

There was something wrong with me 

But it was just another thing 

That I let get inside my head based off all the lies you said 

Are you 

Holding back the truth from me so much that 

I can start to see right through you 

Why did it take so long 

To get across the message I'll have to get 

This off of my chest 

Slow down 

You keep on running when the problem is yourself 

So pick your head up and change direction 

While you still recognize reflections of yourself 

Slow down 

The problem's you and no one else 

What did you expect from being so deceiving 

Every other second you had me believing 

There was something wrong with me 

But it was just another thing 

That I let get inside my head based off all the lies you said
