Expected

Alone in bed the disappointment settles in
Instant replay of every flaw and every sin
I keep drifting toward the darkness in my mind
Where waves of shame pull me down and I'm inclined

To maybe float into that sea
And let the salt wash over me

I don't know what I expected
When I walked in there with my heart protected
And now I feel like I'm being rejected
But it's just some shit that I projected

Internalized too many thoughtless remarks
Spent hours dwelling over casual disregard
To shield myself from words that weren't even true
I built up walls that blocked off my view

Of who I am and I could be
A self-fulfilling prophecy

But I don't know what I expected
When I walked in there with my heart protected
And now I feel like I'm being rejected
But it's just some shit that I projected

I don't know
I don't know anymore
