about

Single no. 2 from "Expectations"

lyrics

A young man raised against his will
Taught to love someone so chill
He looks her in the eyes
Expectations on decline
A pit in his stomach when he realized

He loved her against reason, against promise, against peace
Against hope, against happiness
Against all discouragement that could be

To love is to compromise
This was just a web of lies
Spun by the queen of toxicity

Pip, you're a young man
You've got lots going for you
I know you can help it
We wanna see it through

This was just the final straw
He was gonna leave it all
The pain he once thought he knew

And he said:
I love her against reason, against promise, against peace
Against hope, against happiness
Against all discouragement that could be

I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace
Against hope, against happiness
Against all discouragement that could be expected of me
