Once I was

Yeah, I was but now I'm not

Once I would

Yeah, I would but now I won't

Once I could

Yeah, I could but now I can't

Once I did

Yeah, I did but now I don't

I'm lowing my expectations

I'm lowing my...

I'm lowing my expectations

I'm lowing my...

Once I tried

Yeah, I tried, now I'm giving up

Once I care

Care so much, now I'm giving up

You can regreat

Everything you've done and blame everyone

You can regreat

Everything you've done and blame everyone

I'm lowing my expectations

I'm lowing my...

I'm lowing my expectations

I'm lowing my...

I was goona change the word

World

World

But I couldn't change the word

World

I couldn't say myself

Once a held it

I held it so close

Now I let it dry

Once a ran

You know I always ran

I'm lowing my expectations

I'm lowing my...

I'm lowing my expectations

I'm lowing my...
