The Biggest Disappointment (feat. Dan Sultan)

The Biggest Disappointment (最大的失望) - Missy Higgins (蜜西·希金斯)/Dan Sultan

They had my future wrapped up in a parcel

And no one even thought of asking me

The day I turned fifteen I caught the mail train

To find out what else might be in life for me

Well I rode on trucks and trains and lived on nothin'

Served me right for wanting to be free

Ah well that's the way society looked at it

But it didn't seem to be that way to me

And the biggest disappointment in the family was me

The only twisted branch upon our good old family tree

I just couldn't be the person they expected me to be

And the biggest disappointment in the world was me

A lot more dinner times than there were dinners

I learned a lot that hurt me at the time

Then this quiet country boy went home a different man

With a memory of distance on my mind

But I always spoke too loud and laughed too often

Maybe drank too many glasses down

And perhaps my clothes were older than I realised

A relief to all concerned when I left town

And the biggest disappointment in the family was me

The only twisted branch upon our good old family tree

I just couldn't be the person they expected me to be

And the biggest disappointment in the world was me

And the biggest disappointment in the family was me

The only twisted branch upon our good old family tree

I just couldn't be the person they expected me to be

And the biggest disappointment in the world was me
