You used to say that we were best friends
But apparently I’m trash and you’re now with the trends
The bathroom stalls are the place I run to cry
Except the graffiti on the walls just make my eyes fry
Every piece of homework is weighing on me like a brick
Apparently I’m flat, that homework did the trick
I’M BEING WEIGHTED DOWN BY EXPECTATIONS (expectationsss)
I’M GONNA DROWN IN THE EXPECTATIONS (expectationsss)
“GET SOME MAKEUP, WEAR A DRESS, THEN I’LL HATE YOU EVEN LESS”
I’LL NEVER MEET YOUR expectations.
Now all of the boys are always “so so cute”
Everything I should say is “slay” “ew” or “oooooh!”
While the other kids are laughing ‘bout Shrek
I’m being glared at- what the HECK!?
Every piece of classwork is weighing on me like a brick
Apparently I’m flat, the classwork did the trick
I’M BEING WEIGHTED DOWN BY EXPECTATIONS (expectationsss)
I’M GONNA DROWN IN THE EXPECTATIONS (expectationsss)
“DON’T BE A PICK ME, EAT SOME MORE, GET YOUR CLASSWORK DONE BY FOUR”
I’LL NEVER MEET YOUR expectations.
I can’t ever be confident in me, myself
Let me go, you given me bad mental health
I’m tired of trying, tired of lying
Tired of going to bed every night crying
Every persons judgements weighing on me like a brick
But guess what? (uh oh, what the fri-)
I’VE NEVER REALLY LIKED YOUR DUMB EXPECTATIONS
I DON’T GIVE A FLIP ABOUT YOUR DUMB EXPECTATIONS
HOW BOUT YOU GO GET A LIFE? HOW BOUT YOU LISTEN TO ALL THOSE LINES?
I’ll never ever meet your expectations.
B: We were huntin' boys, we were fightin' boys
In our patched uniforms of blue--
We marched, we rode, we swam, oh, we ran the forest through.
Our Spencers were new and our blood was young;
Younger than we ever knew:
But oh Johnny I swear, my first shots weren't at you.
--
Oh Johnny I took your home, your life,
oh Johnny I took your soul--
Oh Johnny I took your home, your life,
oh Johnny I took your soul.
--
We went in the fields oh Johnny,
Your gray jacket matched the mornin' dew
We went in the fields but of Johnny I swear:
My first shots weren't at you.
--
Oh Johnny I took your home, your life,
oh Johnny I took your soul--
Oh Johnny I took your home, your life,
oh Johnny I took your soul.
--
Ten times did I load my musket,
Once did I make my shot
Oh, Johnny; that just happened to
The bullet that 'chou caught
--
Oh Johnny I took your home, your life,
oh Johnny I took your soul--
Oh Johnny I took your home, your life,
oh Johnny I took your soul.
--
I watched that round pierce your heart:
A skinny gray oak and a silver-tipped dart--
I watched that round pierce your heart:
A skinny gray oak and a silver-tipped dart--
--
Oh Johnny I took your home, your life,
oh Johnny I took your soul--
Oh Johnny I took your home, your life,
oh Johnny I took your soul.
--
Oh Johnny I took your home, your life,
oh Johnny I took your soul--
Oh Johnny I took your home, your life,
oh Johnny I took your soul.

Actually pretty meaningful lyrics if you've figured out what they're about and the story they tell.
