High Expectations Lyrics by Xrol

2021

[Verse 1]
Every day I see what's slowly killing me
It's me and my high expectations
Every day I think I'm finally on the brink
Of overcoming these frustrations

[Pre-Chorus]
I guess there is no denying
These times are quite edifying
They really are clarifying
What I need to work on

But then there is no denying
These times are quite terrifying
They really are amplifying
The worst I had in me

[Chorus]
Very harsh when I'm doing quite ok
Always counting the hours in a day
Although I havе good intentions
Don't like my high expеctations

Think I'm fine but that is exactly when
Need to start working on myself again
Gotta lay good foundations
In place of high expectations

[Verse 2]
Every day I feel I'll finally keep it real
Won't heal unless I learn to keep it chill but
Every night at dark I have a change of heart
So smart yet afraid to make a start oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I guess there is no denying
These times are quite terrifying
They really are amplifying
The worst I had in me

[Chorus]
Very harsh when I'm doing quite ok
Always counting the hours in a day
Although I have good intentions
Don't like my high expectations

Think I'm fine but that is exactly when
Need to start working on myself again
Gotta lay good foundations
In place of high expectations

[Bridge]
The whisper in my ear
It never goes away
I'd rather focus on
My wellbeing today
High expectations are my biggest flaw
Oh na na na

I hope that things will change
Cus they're in my control
Although sometimes it feels
They won't improve at all
High expectations are my biggest flaw
Oh na na an

[Chorus]
Very harsh when I'm doing quite ok
Always counting the hours in a day
Although I have good intentions
Don't like my high expectations

Think I'm fine but that is exactly when
Need to start working on myself again
Gotta lay good foundations
In place of high expectations

[Post-Chorus]
I hope that things will change
Cus they're in my control
Although sometimes it feels
They won't improve at all
High expectations are my biggest flaw
Oh na na na
