Expectations
Break. Lyrics

Merlot on your skirt
You made a mistake and spilled wine on your clothes, which is a small thing in the grand scheme of things.

Oh, did it hurt
It may have hurt or embarrassed you, but don't let it hold you back.

When your name was tarnished
Your reputation was negatively affected by the mistake you made with the wine.

Such a silly thing
Spilling wine on your clothes is not a big deal, and shouldn't define you.

So, did it sting
It may have hurt, but it's important to move on and not dwell on small things.

When you lost your varnish
Your mistake may have caused you to lose some of your luster or confidence.

Somewhere on your way
At some point in your life, things changed and you may not feel as confident as you used to.

To here today
But now you're here, and you've made it this far despite any adversity you've faced.

You stopped being perfect
No one is perfect, and it's important to accept your flaws and move forward.

Wait, don't get upset
Don't let this realization upset or discourage you - imperfection is part of being human.

You're not done yet
There's still more to experience and achieve in life!

And that choice was worth it
The choice to move on from expectations and accept your imperfections was a worthwhile decision.

Got no hangups to hold you anymore
You're no longer confined by others' expectations or your own self-doubt.

So live your life the way you like
You have the freedom to live your life on your terms.

You've left the building and you didn't use the door
You've broken free from limitations and made a brave choice not to follow convention.

Tell hanging back to take a hike
Move forward without the fear or hesitation that used to hold you back.

Now you're on your own
You're carving out your own path in life now, and that can be scary but also exciting.

But not alone
Although you're making your own choices, you're not alone - others are on a similar journey.

'Cause you're not the only
Your story is not unique; many people feel held back or burdened by expectations.

One in the same boat
You're part of a community of people trying to live their best lives.

Keeping afloat
It can be hard, but you're finding a way to keep moving forward.

And it's hardly lonely
Although the journey can be challenging, you don't have to face it alone.

Those expectations can't control you now
You're no longer letting others' expectations control your life.

You've fallen down and gotten out
You've experienced failure or adversity, but you've found a way to bounce back.

That ten-ton legacy can take its final bow
The weight of your past or expectations can finally be left behind.

Now you know you can go without
You realize that you don't need to carry the burden of expectations with you.

You've only lost your sense of boundaries
Breaking free from expectations has allowed you to question your previous limitations or boundaries.

No need to take a different track
You can still pursue your goals and passions, even if they don't conform to others' expectations.

But it's not hard to sleep this soundly
Living life on your own terms provides a sense of peace and security.

Now's not the time for turning back
You've come too far to be discouraged or turn back now.
