Woke up this morning, tried to make it right,
Chasing down the dreams, but they're out of sight,
I’ve been holding on to things I can’t control,
Searching for a way to ease my soul.
Pre-Chorus
But life’s a little different than I thought it’d be,
Not every road leads to what I wanna see,
And it’s hard to keep on going when you’re feeling low,
But sometimes you just gotta let it go.
Chorus
Sometimes, you just have to lower your expectations,
To avoid unnecessary disappointments,
Life’s not always what we think it should be,
But peace comes when we just set ourselves free,
Sometimes, you just have to lower your expectations,
To avoid unnecessary disappointments,
The world keeps turning, and so must we,
Finding joy in what is, not what could be.
Verse 2
I used to dream of castles made of gold,
But now I’m learning that not everything’s bold,
You can’t force the future to align with your plans,
Sometimes you just need to take a step back and stand.
Pre-Chorus
The pressure builds up, but I’ll breathe through the pain,
When you stop the chase, you break those chains,
And it’s hard to admit, but now I know,
Sometimes letting go helps you grow.
Chorus
Sometimes, you just have to lower your expectations,
To avoid unnecessary disappointments,
Life’s not always what we think it should be,
But peace comes when we just set ourselves free,
Sometimes, you just have to lower your expectations,
To avoid unnecessary disappointments,
The world keeps turning, and so must we,
Finding joy in what is, not what could be.
Bridge
Don’t be afraid to let your dreams fall apart,
Sometimes the healing is a brand new start,
When you stop chasing, you’ll find what’s real,
It’s a weight off your shoulders, a chance to heal.
Chorus
Sometimes, you just have to lower your expectations,
To avoid unnecessary disappointments,
Life’s not always what we think it should be,
But peace comes when we just set ourselves free,
Sometimes, you just have to lower your expectations,
To avoid unnecessary disappointments,
The world keeps turning, and so must we,
Finding joy in what is, not what could be.
Outro
So I’ll lower my expectations, let the burden be light,
And in the stillness, I’ll find my light.
