So High (Expectations)

Released: September 18, 2024

lyrics

I’ve had it, up so high, I don’t wanna try
It’s added up so high
All ‘cause I set my expectations
so high
I’m selfless, and they’re just selfish
Oh, why
Must I
Live like this?
Oh, why

You play too hard
(You play too hard)
Yeah, you play too hard
Too far
Yeah, you take it too far
(Yeah, you take it too far)

You know what I hate yet you do it still
You know what I need yet you never will
(yet you never will)
Why won’t you be perfect
for me?

('cause I've)
I’ve had it, up so high, I don’t wanna try (up so high)
It’s added up so high (up so high)
All ‘cause I set my expectations (up so high)
(expectations)
so high
I’m selfless, and they’re just selfish
Oh, why
Must I
Live like this?
Oh, why
