Expectations

Can there be hope without expectation
Simple excitement at what could be
Can I make plans without the implications
Of all the ways I think things should be

Failure's always on the cards
Still when the other shoe drops it drops hard

Deceived by my expectation
Stealthy and sly
I've just cottoned on I've had a bag full with me
All of my life

Lessons learned over time
But I've never dealt well with disappointment

How long have my best intentions hurled me
Headlong in to my despair
I was headstrong but now my heart is broken
I think it's time that I let go of expectations

You could call it hope without limitations
I'm got no plan for my future years
I'll let today provide the inspiration
To get the most out of now and here

I really tried, feels like my best plans were denied

The cruelty of disappointment, it contradicts my best desires
It's hard to keep the best parts of you from burning in the fire

Some part of me died
But death is part of life

How long have my best intentions hurled me
Headlong in to my despair
I was headstrong but now my heart is broken
I think it's time that I let go of expectations
