0:13In my head, you lay down next to me
0:17Kiss my lips, hold me carefully
0:20Say goodbye and feel all the withdrawals
0:26But it's not the same in reality
0:29I say your name, but you don't get back to me
0:33'Til you got something you need me for
0:37So I sing just to know I'm alive
0:42And I cried all the tears I could cry
0:45If happiness is just an illusion
0:48You were the best I ever had
0:51If you can't be what I want
0:54And the things you say are true
0:58All I need is the great expectation of you
1:04Expectation of you
1:08The tracks of my tears go back for years
1:11When I was young, I've always had the fears
1:14One would leave, so I held on so long
1:20But to еach their own, you come and go a lot
1:24It's black and white, but I go back and change the plot
1:27Just to have you in the way I want, so I
1:33Sing just to know I'm alive (I sing, so I)
1:36And I cried all the tears I could cry (I cried for you)
1:40If happiness is just an illusion
1:42You were the best I ever had
1:45If you can't be what I want (be what I want)
1:49And the things you say are true (are true, yeah, true)
1:52All I need is the great expectation of you, oh
1:59Cry my tears and let 'em dry (mm, expectation of you)
2:02Cry my tears and testify
2:05You exist inside my mind
2:08You, so
2:10So I sing just to know I'm alive
2:15And I cried all the tears I could cry (I cried for you)
2:18If happiness is just an illusion
2:21You were the best I ever had (best I had)
2:24If you can't be what I want (be what I want)
2:27And the things you say are true (are true, yeah, true)
2:31All I need is the great expectation of you
2:37All I need is
2:42All I need is you
2:49♪
