In my head, you lay down next to me Kiss my lips, hold me carefully Say goodbye and feel all the withdrawals But it's not the same, in reality I say your name, but you don't get back to me Till you got something you need me for So I sing just to know I'm alive And I cried all the tears I could cry If happiness is just an illusion You were the best I ever had If you can't be what I want And the things you say aren't true All I need is the great expectation of you Expectation of you The tracks of my tears go back for years When I was young, I've always had the fears one would leave So I held on so long (so long, so long) But to each their own, you come and go a lot It's black and white, but I go back and change the plot Just to have ya in the way I want So I sing just to know I'm alive (I sing so long) And I cried all the tears I could cry (I cried for you) If happiness is just an illusion You were the best I ever had If you can't be what I want (be what I want) And the things you say aren't true (not true, not true) All I need is the great expectation of you, oh Cry my tears and let 'em dry (mm, expectation of you) Cry my tears and testify You exist inside my mind You, so So I sing just to know I'm alive And I cried all the tears I could cry (I cried for you) If happiness is just an illusion You were the best I ever had (best I had) If you can't be what I want (be what I want) And the things you say aren't true (not true, not true) All I need is the great expectation of you All I need is All I need is you
