Lyric

The first time I saw you, I remember when

Your kindness was just right, back then

I started expecting too much from you

Thinking "I wish you were the one," it’s true

The closer we get, the more we drift apart

The distance is widening inside my heart

Your version of "normal" is stifling me

I pretend not to notice, but my heart can't be free

You’re so unexpected, it’s true

The future I dreamed isn't the version of you

Because I loved you, I started to see

Those reckless standards you imposed on me

Your attitude stings more than "I love you" could heal

I still love you, but the coldness is all I feel

Those words you speak, like they’re always right

In your world, they’re the only light

But my feelings are always pushed aside

Waiting in a line with nowhere to hide

You’re so unexpected, it’s true

Your kindness is conditional, through and through

Every time I ask you to understand

I feel myself getting smaller, where I stand

Your stubborn pride, saying you’ll never change

Looks so scary now, out of my range

I’m supposed to love you, but I can't be real

Between the "ideal you" I used to know

And the version of you that’s started to show

I’m still searching for an answer to find

This love was unexpected, in my mind

Yeah, this love

It was unexpected
