LOW EXPECTATIONS

MY HEROES LET ME DOWN
AND I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED
THEY NEVER MADE ANY PROMISES TO ME

AND YOUR BOYFRIENDS AND YOUR GIRLFRIENDS
ARE BOUND TO LET YOU DOWN
CAUSE ALL THEY DO IS MAKE PROMISES TO YOU

NOW I'M NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD DISREGARD THEIR PROMISES
THEY SOMETIMES SAY JUST WHAT THEY MEAN

NOW I'VE GOT LOW EXPECTATIONS
TRY TO STAY RELAXED, NOT GET UPTIGHT
NOW I'VE GOT LOW EXPECTATIONS
THERE'LL BE NO DISAPPOINTING ME TONIGHT

AND I LET MYSELF DOWN
BUT I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED
BECAUSE I SET ALL MY HURDLES WAY TOO HIGH

YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR FRIENDS
ARE BOUND TO LET YOU DOWN
CAUSE YOU PUT SUCH CONFIDENCE IN THEM

I'M NOT SAYING THAT THERE'S ANSWERS TO THESE PROBLEMS
I'M JUST SAYING THEY EXIST
