Expectations

I don't know who I am

I don't know where I stand

So what else can I do

But follow lines on my hand?

Blow the candles, watch the smoke

Goodbye to youth before I choke

Although I've never been

I've never come face to face

Rumours speak of the future

Like it's a scary place

Stuck in my father's silhouette

The chaos I'll come to regret

It's clear that I'm not ready for this

I can't live up to these

Expectations of me

They try to change me to what I'll never be

Long ago I withdrew

My expectations of you

Unknown direction but it's where I'd rather be

They put the words in my mouth

But I don't like the taste

Their eyes just follow me round

Like I am such a disgrace

Their stares are dripping down my skin

Judgements are clawing their way in

It's clear that I'm not ready for this

I can't live up to these

Expectations of me

They try to change me to what I'll never be

Long ago I withdrew

My expectations of you

Unknown direction but it's where I'd rather be

I thought that my path was sewn by the stars

But I don't trust them anymore

Cause fate can be cruel and I'm just his fool

I can't live up to these

Expectations of me

They try to change me to what I'll never be

Long ago I withdrew

My expectations of you

Unknown direction but it's where I'd rather be

I can't live up to these

Expectations of me

They try to change me to what I'll never be

Long ago I withdrew

My expectations of you

Unknown direction but it's where I'd rather be

It's clear that I'm not ready for this
