Matt Nathanson - Miracles Lyrics
They built a hero, out of expectionsand what a hopeless hero was heSticks for legs, well he shook when the wind blew, even slightlyAnd he welcomed the smileswelcomed the applauseand hoped they'd never forgot just who they thought he wasThey dressed him up in rich mans clothesand told him he was beautifulThen they expected miraclesThen they expected miraclesHis parents were pleased,they went to all the partiesHe was groomed for greatness from the time he was youngRaised on a diet of television,he was taught to listen, kept dumbAnd he welcomed desire,reckless luxuryThe world soaked up every drop of dramaand insecurityThey dressed him up in rich mans clothes,and told him he was beautiful.Then they expected miraclesThen they expected miraclesThen one day his admires just quit himthey just packed up their pants and were goneHe stood alone,their beautiful disatserWonderin' where he'd gone wrongHe wanted their smilewanted the applause.No one would look him in the eye now,no one returned his callsThey dressed him up in rich mans clothes,and told him he was beautiful.Then they expected miraclesThen they expected miracles
