Expectation

[Intro]

I can't fight your war

I don't know you anymore

What's right and what's wrong, I feel torn

I'm sorry I can't be what you want me to be

[Chorus]

I'm not what you wanted from me

You never could see what I see, nah

I'm not what's expected of me

Couldn't stay under your wings, nah

I had to fly and be great

I had to fly and be free

I can't be that boy that you need

I'm man what I'm coming to be

Can't you see that I'm not you

I can't be just like you

That's not the path I choose

My life is more than yours

[Verse]

You wanna few that relate to me, you the same as me

Everything changed with me when you came for me, it was plain to see

That you came cause you saw a flame in me, you claim you was saving me

But pain was the thing that you gave to me, now you just don't look the same to me

Am I tripping and feel like the vision different

On the same team, but the mission different

I don't know who you is anymore

No, I'm not a kid anymore

I was sidekicking, nah, I hadn't been there

Never knew there more for me

Now I know there's so much more to be

Ain't no telling what's in store for me

When I was all on my own, you came and showed me how to fight

When I was lost in the darkness, you showed me how to move through the night

You tell me how to see the bigger picture and separate wrong and right

Now when you cross a line, I can not fall in line

[Chorus]

I'm not what you wanted from me

You never could see what I see, nah

I'm not what's expected of me

Couldn't stay under your wings, nah

I had to fly and be great

I had to fly and be free

I can't be that boy that you need

I'm man what I'm coming to be

Can't you see that I'm not you

I can't be just like you

That's not the path I choose

My life is more than yours

[Outro]

I can't fight your war

I don't know you anymore

What's right and what's wrong, I feel torn

I'm sorry I can't be what you want me to be
