Expectations

Some days I can't get outta my own head
"You could start by gettin' outta bed", she said
One day, you know we'll both be dead
So why don't we do some livin'?
Some days I don't know who to trust
In the rain my spirit starts to rust
She said, "You're bein' way too generous
With all the fucks you're givin'"

Wasn't gettin' much out of life at all
Was scared to jump so I was scared to fall
I used to think the world was pretty small
From the comfort of my room
Lately I've been hard to reach
Standin' on this mountain peak
I learned that fear is just the false belief
That there is nothin' you can do

All those years of bad test scores
Still tryna figure out what I was studyin' for
But once you walk out that classroom door
Nobody tells you where you're goin'
It seems like everyone I know
Is just an actor puttin' on a show
I hope one day I'm wise enough to know
There's no way of knowin'

I hate it, so frustratin'
The weight of expectations
Keep bringin' you down
I'm fed up, I won't let
The weight of expectations
Keep bringin' me down
I hate it, so frustratin'
The weight of expectations
Keep bringin' you down
I'm fed up, I won't let
The weight of expectations
Keep bringin' me down
