Mike R. Burns - Burned Lyrics

So many sleepless nights
So many deals done
The Devil's got me consecutively
Imagine my surprise
When he didn't deliver
I never did read the fine print

No one ever does what you expect
You can only ever expect to be wrong
Because expecting anything
Is expecting too much

I thought this pain meant something
That I suffered in order to gain
But the Devil, yeah, got the last laugh
And I'm just left with a hollow death wish
Drunk and alone in my bed
Not even sleep keeps the Devil out my head

No one ever does what you expect
You can only ever expect to be wrong
Because expecting anything
Is expecting too much

I fell and paid for my crime
I swear it felt right at the time
It might have been in another time
I played the fool while angels looked on

No one ever does what you expect
You can only ever expect to be wrong
Because expecting anything
Is expecting too much
