expectations

I was never thinking I've been doing something wrong And everything I had was me just being on my own I'd wasted so much time at sitting down and writing songs Then hated being stuck and trying everything I know Now I'm not letting it go I have a chance to make it work and I'm not letting it go You know How much I hated it all So, if you'll ever bring this up you better leave me alone I know I said it You still don't get it Look the way you do And look the way I do I know I'm ready Don't keep me waiting Look the way you do And look the way I do I know I said it You still don't get it Look the way you do And look the way I do I know I'm ready Don't keep me waiting Look the way you do And look the way I always do I have never settled with the options that I had And after all I said you still continue to be mad I will never get it, why you're being so upset So why would I remember anything that you have said? Of course, you're tired as hell You got it all, you've settled down and put your plan on a shelf I've been so hard on myself I traded dreams for my health So, if you wanna speak a word you better look at yourself I know I said it You still don't get it Look the way you do And look the way I do I know I'm ready Don't keep me waiting Look the way you do And look the way I do I know I said it You still don't get it Look the way you do And look the way I do I know I'm ready Don't keep me waiting Look the way you do And look the way I always do I think it's terribly dangerous for an artist to fulfill other people's expectations If you feel safe from the area that you're working in You're not working in the right area Always go a little further into the water that you think you're capable of being in Go a little out of your depth And when you don't feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom You're just about in the right place to do something exciting
