Against Expectations

Don't wanna suffer in the silence
I'm so tired of fighting alone
All of the quiet lies that tell me
I'm not worthy to be known

And how do I drop the masks and drop the act?
Let go of all the fear that's been holding me back?
And what if I believed I mattered enough to speak louder?

Tell me how to be human
Against all of the expectations
Tell me how to be real and bold and fully known
There's gotta be more, there has to be more than the lonely

All I see are towering walls I built up to hide myself away
Safe inside I keep so private so no one can see the pain

And how do I drop the masks and drop the act?
Let go of all the fear that's been holding me back?
And what if believed I mattered enough to speak louder?

Tell me how to be human
Against all of the expectations
Tell me how to be real and bold and fully known
Cause what if there's more?
There has to be more than the lonely

Lean into the feeling of
Tearing down your prison walls
Let them in and see they don't run
Who are you when you let your guard down?

You are worthy
You are more than
All the lies that
You believe so
Let it go let it all go now

Lean into the feeling of
Tearing down your prison walls
Let them in and see they don't run
Who are you when you let your guard down?

You are worthy
You are more than
All the lies that
You believe so
Let it go let it all go now
Cause you're only human
Against all of the expectations
Let yourself be real and bold and fully known
Cause there is more, there's always been more

Cause you're only human
Against all of the expectations
Let yourself be real and bold and fully known
Cause there is more, there's always been more than the lonely
