Disappointment

Lyrics

I can see the pain in your eyes As you try to comprehend your way of life And I don't think I'm a failure at something I haven't done yet I'd be like you if I needed to I know that you just want me to be happy As long as that happiness coincides With your stylised distortions of my values And a work ethic that no longer applies We don't want to work too hard Just accept the way we are It's your disappointment tearing us apart Can't you understand this is our time It's not a phase we're getting on just fine It's easier to talk about redemption Than questionable backwards moral lines It might just be academic pretensions Or justifying when to fantasise We don't want to work too hard Just accept the way we are It's your disappointment tearing us apart I can see the pain in your eyes As you try to comprehend your way of life I know that you just want me to be happy As long as that happiness coincides With your stylised distortions of my values And work ethic that no longer applies We don't want to work too hard Just accept the way we are It's the disappointment tearing us apart
