Expectations

I set myself so high of expectations.
I know I’ll never reach them,
Yet I continue to set them.
Maybe that is why I have such,
low-self esteem.
Over and over,
I tell myself to lower the bar,
I set so high.

I just tune my self out,
Making the music loud.
Drowning out my thoughts.
La la la la la la.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mm, hm, hm.
Ooh, ooh.

I just tune my self out,
Making the music loud.
Drowning out my thoughts.
La la la la la la.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mm, hm, hm.
Ooh, ooh.
