I Don’t Expect You To

(Hildegunn Garnes Reigstad, Ingelin Reigstad Norheim)

I don’t expect you to understand
Most of the time I’m a mystery to myself
I can’t allow you to like me now
Cause I don’t nearly meet with my own expectations

My mind’s an attic with loads of mess
Sooner or later I’ll have to sort things out
Some treasures covered in spider web
Boxes with memories of awkward moments

And every time I try to explain
The words play hide and seek
But every time I dive in my pain
Here you come, and

You always find the tools to put it all in place
Pulling truth out from the haze
I might be feeling like a fool, walking in a maze
But you never stop to chase me, take me back
In your arms again

I don’t expect you to hang around
Let’s face the facts - I don’t reach up to your knees
I wouldn’t blame you for blaming me
I can’t keep my nose out of stupid trouble

And every time I try to get loose
I’m wrapped up even more
But every time I’m feeling confused
Here you come and

You always find the tools to put it all in place
Pulling truth out from the haze
I might be feeling like a fool, walking in a maze
But you never stop to chase me, take me back
In your arms again

You always find the tools to put it all in place
Pulling truth out from the haze
I might be feeling like a fool, covering my face
But you never stop to chase me, take me back
In your arms again

I don’t expect you to…
