"Not The Way I Thought It Was" lyrics

Great expectations
They come and they go
A lifetime of trying can fail and fall apart
You'll never know
Little turns can turn into trouble
Disappointment can double down
Soon as I see that sign in your eyes
Believe me, I'm gone

Not the way I thought it was
It's all news to me
Not what I thought it was
That's plain to see

Great expectations
Somehow let you down
If you had a plan, I don't understand
There's no common ground

Not the way I thought it was
It's all news to me
Not what I thought it was
That's plain to see

That's plain babe

Nothing what it seems, nothing what it means
Believing in a dream, that's what it was
Nothing to be found, not on solid ground
Safe from the crowd
Just the two of us

I'm walking away wastin' my time
She's in a dream livin' a lie
Not what it means, maybe never was
Torn at the seams
Broken inside
Broken inside
Not what I thought it was
We all have great expectations
Where do they go, what do we know?

What do we know?

What do we know?
