What Did You Expect

We were destined for greater things We wanted something more than this We used to scream it back when we were kids But I got out and you stayed instead Those last words still ring in my head Look how beautiful suburbia is This water runs thicker than blood Now they stand where we once stood, they try to guess Is this as good as it gets? We live fast and die young We'll join the 27 club, sounds perfect Oh, what did you expect? Nothing hurts more like a future though That will never be, we're forever so Naïve to think we could have youthful bliss We grew up thinking we'd cheat death Regrets like dancing silhouettes Floating in a sea of friends I miss Let's raise our glasses up to this We'll reminisce on the what ifs And coulda beens This water runs thicker than blood Now they stand where we once stood, oh what a mess Is this as good as it gets You lived fast and died young You joined the 27 club, how I wept I just wish I'd said I love you I love you We'll live fast and die young Friday nights in shite clubs Cheap drugs and old loves And our tongues were like guns Armed with words from our lungs More vicious than any bullet I'd change newt it were perfect And surely that counts for sommet What did you expect? Oh, what did you expect? What did you expect? Oh, what did you expect? Rosie, to me, without a shadow of a doubt You were more beautiful inside and out than them all But you'll never get to know There's a lump in my throat When I sit by your grave I'm sorry you couldn't be saved What did you expect? Oh, what did you expect? Oh, what did you expect? Oh, what did you expect? Oh, what did you expect? Oh, what did you expect? Oh, what did you expect From me?
