Great Expectations Lyrics

Great expectations I had to fight
I want to tell you what it was like
My recollection is not too clear
So much hope and so much fear
Long conversations into the night
Not like that, oh no, not so black and white
The great temptations to try and please you
Play with you, fuck with your mind and tease you
If I could tell my story in a song
I′d have to make it fast and yes it's very long
Many shades of grey between the right and wrong
Day for night, night for day, now the story′s on its way
Feel the fire burn and play
So turn the lights down low, come over here
Stay with me, don't go, you'll see my characters appear
A storyteller′s magic doesn′t lie
Make you laugh to make you cry
Real for me is real for you
What I say is almost true
Day for night, night for day, now the story's on its way
Feel the fire burn and play
The story′s ended now, you're on your own
Let′s say a little prayer and go home
