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
