Expectations
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
