I Expect Too Much

When I look into the mirror Wake up to tired eyes The red bumps that I've scratched off My makeup tries to hide I wonder what they think of me Do they notice when I'm down I listen to the words I wrote Does no one hear a sound Crafting chords and melodies Every line's aligned I sing my songs and send them to the void Perfectly poetic But am I saying anything at all My words disperse and fly away Does no one hear my call? Oh, I expect too much Writing is enough Even if no one can hear it No, I can be content My song is my own I can sing and feel right at home When I'm playing the piano My worries melt away I'll make up words, not caring what I say I fill a room with music Sometimes I wanna cry The feeling grows and grows I close my eyes There's a deep memory Forgotten long ago That surfaces and chills you to your bones Suffering in silence I call out in the rain Will an answer come to me Is my searching all in vain Oh, I expect too much Writing is enough Even if no answer's given Know I can be content My song gives me hope I can sing and know I'm not alone Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh hoh oh I can sing and feel right at home Mmm mmm mmm Music you're an old friend I welcome with arms wide Nobody knows how much you're in my mind And if one day you hear me Come sit down for a while I'm happy just to play and make you smile One day I won't be here Leaving you behind But you can speak for me, I don't mind The words and notes I give you fragments of my soul I hope that they inspire All the ones I could never know Oh, I expect too much Writing is enough Even if one day I'll leave it all You can be content Your song is your own Sing it loud, let music fill your soul Oh, I expect too much Writing is enough Even if no one can hear me Know I can be content My song is my own No matter where I am Even on my own I'll keep singing and feel right at home Oh, I expect too much But I'll give my all Singing loud cause my song is my own
