Expectations

I don't know who I am

And I don't know where I stand

So what else can I do

But follow lines in my hand?

Blow the candle, watch the smoke

Goodbye to you 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

Soaking my father's silhouette

The chaos I've 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 they 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 pouring 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 sown by the stars

But I don't trust them anymore

Cause faking it cool and I'm just it's 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

Rather be, rather be

It's clear that I'm not ready for this
