Expectations
Why do you lie to me?
Make promises you won't keep?
Why do you bother?
Do you think I'm fooled by your lies
I've stopped believing in you
My expectations lead to disappointment
I don't know why I try
Still, I keep hanging on
Do I expect you to change?
I know you will not
You are the same boy I met long ago
Not the man I hoped you would be
I changed and grew up without you
And waited for you to do the same
I will wait no longer.
