What Did You Expect?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I want explosions
Not slow motion
I want color
Not grainy black and white
And when I see you
I wanna feel like
I just met you
For the first time
Truth bites
But it hurts you more to lie
Don't you find
Theres no right answer
Maybe I've had too much
Never had quite enough
When it came down to love
What did you expect?
Haven't you heard the news
Lovers are made to lose
When it came to me and you
What did you expect?
Oh what did you, what did you, what did you expect?
Be inpatient
to come face them
Well this ought to be
something it couldn't be
Expectations
We were chasing
Have a runners
Left us lying in the street
Truth Bites
But it hurts you more to lie
Don't you find
Theres no right answer
Maybe Ive had too much
Never had quite enough
When it came down to love
What did you expect?
Haven't you heard the news
Lovers are made to lose
When it came to me and you
What did you expect?
Oh what did you, what did you, what did you expect?
Oh what did you, what did you, what did you expect?
Oh what did you, what did you, what did you expect?
Oh what did you, what did you, what did you expect?
Truth Bites
But it hurts you more to lie
Don't you find
Theres no right answer
Truth hurts
But lying makes it worse
Don't you find
Maybe Ive had too much
Never had quite enough
When it came down to love
What did you expect?
Haven't you heard the news
Lovers are made to lose
When it came to me and you
What did you expect?
Oh what did you, what did you, what did you expect?
Oh what did you, what did you, what did you expect?
Oh what did you, what did you, what did you expect?
Oh what did you, what did you, what did you expect?
Maybe Ive had too much
Never had quite enough
When it came down to love
What did you expect?
Haven't you heard the news
Lovers are made to lose
When it came to me and you
What did you expect?
