Expectations

[Verse 1]
I always thought that I would be somewhere else by now
Somewhere I could sleep well
Cause waves of emotion always drown me
I’ve been losing my concentration
I’ve come down from high elevation
Now looking through all my creations
One thing remains the same
I’ve lowered my expectations
Gave up on love and waiting
I just miss your conversation
It gave my life some sort of patience
I’ve given all I can
I think it’s time to take my stand
And change what I can
Blame no one for the spot I’m in except myself

[Chorus]
How do I ignore who I am
How will I get used to your plan
Without some sort of vision
I’ve lowered my expectations of you

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel like why should I bother
Not too many things are going to change or gonna alter
Maybe I’m just caught up in nostalgia
Focused on my flaws too much and not on my mantra
I want us both in places that we’ve never been
I want to be somewhere that’s out my element
Cause things I know have happened that I won’t forget
I know your mind is racing
Mostly cause times are changing
Ones who you thought amazing
End up on the cutting room floor

[Verse 3]
The hardest part to grasp is
Getting rid of the control you wish you had
It doesn't work like that
So you fold your arms and you sew your mouth shut
Thinking after all the love I gave, why should I give a fuck
And you slowly lose yourself over nothing
You can't refrain from feeling attacked
You let yourself grow close and attached
To things you think will fix what's not even broken
You drift so far from faith and the facts
You stress your heart with no place to relax
And you don't even know your wounds are open
So how will you protect them

[Chorus]
How do I ignore who I am (How do I ignore who I am)
How will I get used to your plan
Without some sort of vision (Sort of vision)
I’ve lowered my expectations of you
