Expectations

When I was young, I had a costume

The S was red and the rest was blue

I exchanged it as I grew

And when I was fourteen, I wore black tees

I had long hair and torn up jeans

Tryna look just like you

I'm no hero

And I know you've seen that I never have been

And I'm no hero now

No I'm no hero

And I know you've seen that I never have been

And I'm no hero now

I was full grown, young and free

With nobody to lead myself but me

And no one even knew my name

But in the mirror I could not see

The man I'd always hoped I'd be

And I got no one else to blame

I wanted to be a hero

To be the man of the hour

But leave it to me to let you down

That's me though

So please lower your expectations

I'm not a hero

I'm not the man of the hour

I am the king of letting you down

That's me though

I think we need to lower our expectations

I've been tryna find myself

By wishing I was someone else

And I can't even fill my own shoes

I'm no hero

And I know you've seen that I never have been

And I'm no hero now

No I'm no hero

And I know you've seen that I never have been

And I'm no hero now

I wanted to be a hero

To be the man of the hour

But leave it to me to let you down

That's me though

So please lower your expectations

I'm not a hero

I'm not the man of the hour

I am the king of letting you down

That's me though

I think we need to lower our expectations
