Expectations

There was a time when I couldn't

Stop loving you so much

Haven't seen that me in so long

Forgot I shouldn't care

I sang, "Dum-di-di"

Who I used to be

Is not who I am

Look at me

These dreams of mine

Do not need your advice or cheap blessing

My crown you couldn't lift

And you want me to act a certain way

I'm no one's toy no more

It hurts them to know they can't control me each day

Enjoy the pain

I don't need your expectations

Made the bricks to pave my way

Fuck that Grammy nomination

Happiness cannot be bought

One summer day, we just might meet up again

Hey, look at you sitting here all on your own

Lost in your expectations

I can't help you with that

I can't ever hate you

But had to let you go

Changing myself for your ego and selfish pride stops there

I sang, "Karate"

Who I used to be

Is not who I am

Look at me

These dreams of mine

Do not need your advice or cheap blessing

My crown you couldn't lift

You want me to act a certain way

I'm no one's toy no more

It hurts them to know they can't control me each day

Enjoy the pain

I don't need your expectations

Made the bricks to pave my way

Fuck that Grammy nomination

Happiness cannot be bought

One summer day, we just might meet up again

Hey, look at you sitting here all on your own

Lost in your expectations

I can't help you with that

I can't lie, say it was easy

Each day alone filled me with fear

But here I stand tall

My face to the crowd

I don't need your expectations

Made the bricks to pave my way

Fuck that Grammy nomination

Happiness cannot be bought

One summer day, we just might meet up again

Hey, look at you sitting here all on your own

Lost in your expectations

I can't help you with that
