The crushing weight of zero expectations signals the singer coming to terms with how he’s not actually as ok (with letting things go) as he thought. It’s about grappling with conflicting feelings of discomfort, discovering how hard it is to pretend he’s 100% fine in the aftermath- a stress he’s only...
[Verse 1]
God help me
I opened my eyes
I’m tired of pretending
Too tired to lie
And I got so used to being shut down
That I forgot what acceptance feels like
And now I feel scared when I stand in the light
Because you see me and all of my scars
[Chorus]
I can feel
The crushing weight of zero expectations on my shoulders
Is it selfish that I want to share
And I don’t want to be too much
It’s just that I miss how much you told me
About things that you felt no one cared to hear
Well I am here, and God, I care
[Verse 2]
And right when I feel most alone
Well, there are you are to pick me up
And when my scars are acting up
You put a band-aid right on the cut
You wonder what you offer sometimes
If only you could feel yourself through my life
You’ve always been enough
Ain’t you just enough?
[Chorus]
And I feel
The crushing weight of zero expectations on my shoulders
Is it selfish that I want to share
And I don’t want to be too much
It’s just that I miss how much you told me about
Things that you felt no one cared to hear
Well, I am here, and God, I care
I feel
The crushing weight of zero expectations on my shoulders
Is it selfish that I want to share
And I don’t want to be too much
It’s just that I miss how much you told me about
Things that you felt no one cared to hear
Well, I am here, and God, I care
