Great Expectations

I don't know, I don't know, what Adam saw in Eve.
That he could not find, in all his snakes and beasts
She's a killer, an animal. It's no different, no.
It only takes a single bite, for her to bring you down.
You were built to break my heart
I was built to be ripped apart
My expectations were so great
Love is an end on the human race
Bone of bone and flesh of flesh woman took from man
After time there was nothing left she'd taken all he had
First his soul and then his heart, then every ounce of joy
Such a player from the start, she created to destroy
You were built to break my heart
I was built to be ripped apart
My expectations were so great
Love is an end on the human race
And the fall of man, came down to what he eat
And the fall of man, came the day he was made
You were built to break my heart
I was built to be ripped apart
My expectations were so great
Love is an end on the human race
Love is an end on the human race
Love is an end on the human race
Love is an end on the human race
