Miracles Lyrics - Ernst - Matt Nathanson

They built a hero, out of expections 

and what a hopeless hero was he 

Sticks for legs, well he shook when the wind blew, even slightly 

And he welcomed the smiles 

welcomed the applause 

and hoped they'd never forgot just who they thought he was 

They dressed him up in rich mans clothes 

and told him he was beautiful 

Then they expected miracles 

Then they expected miracles 

His parents were pleased, 

they went to all the parties 

He was groomed for greatness from the time he was young 

Raised on a diet of television, 

he was taught to listen, kept on

And he welcomed desire, 

reckless luxury 

The world soaked up every drop of drama 

and insecurity 

They dressed him up in rich mans clothes, 

and told him he was beautiful. 

Then they expected miracles 

Then they expected miracles 

Then one day his admires just quit him 

they just packed up their things and were gone 

He stood alone, 

their beautiful disatser 

Wonderin' where he'd gone wrong 

He wanted their smile 

wanted the applause. 

No one would look him in the eye now, 

no one returned his calls

They dressed him up in rich mans clothes, 

and told him he was beautiful. 

Then they expected miracles 

Then they expected miracles
