Expecting Too Much

Nobody is wonderful and perfect
Nothing is always alright
Every day is a constant conflict
Everything turns into a fight
The world always blinds us
To confuse and take control
Which only makes us extra cautious
And deteriorates our souls
You can't expect the world of me
I can't be everyone's saint
And if I've let you down that you can see
Then you've expected too much from me
I cannot always be the hero
I cannot always be the best
I have my own life to live
And I just have to move with it
Everyone makes bad decisions
And the blame is solely ours
You can't go back and make revisions
You cannot remove old scars
Everyone has their own choices
And they are theirs alone to make
And if there are people raising voices
Then you know which ones are fake
You can't expect the world of me
I can't be everyone's saint
And if I've let you down that you can see
Then you've expected too much from me
Not a hero
Not a zero
No more pain
Nothing to gain
Not just bait
Not so great
Not much joy
If I'm not your toy
I will drink if I want to drink
I will smoke if I want to smoke
I will not call if I want a break
I won't stay here if you are fake
You can't expect the world of me
I cant be everyone's saint
And if I've let you down that you can see
Then you've expected too much from me.
