Orla Gartland

Expecting Too Much

She is on her own now

This just got real

Her mum is no longer there to make her favourite meal

all the dishes and the worries, they will pile and stack

She loved the world but it did not love her back

She often wouldn't feel well and her friends said go to bed

they would never understand this was a sickness of the head

so she would sit and think for hours and her sadness she'd defer

She loved the world but it was so cruel to her

Can't turn back

Head intact

She knows what she can't have (she'll only want it more)

The journey makes her sad (she'll only start a war)

She won't understand she's just a girl

Expecting too much from the world

She lost sight of important things and bad things she would crave

But there is not an ounce of good in things that send you to the grave

So she would put a pen to paper but no thoughts came out the pen

She loved the world but it stood her up again

Can't turn back

Head intact

She knows what she can't have (she'll only want it more)

The journey makes her sad (she'll only start a war)

She won't understand she's just a girl

Expecting too much from the world

Can't turn back

Head intact

She knows what she can't have

The journey makes her sad

She won't understand she's just a girl

Expecting too much from the world

She knows what she can't have (she'll only want it more)

The journey makes her sad (she'll only start a war)

She won't understand she's just a girl

Expecting too much from the world
