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?
