[Verse 1]

Oh, I'm so sick of these expectations taking their toll

Can I live up to these expectations aching my soul?

Can't tell if I'm holding up or breaking down

Are they proud, are they proud, are they proud?

I'm being torn apart from the inside

Am I keeping up appearances? I don't know

[Chorus]

What do I look like from the sidelines?

Force a smile so they don't know how you feel inside

Am I holding up to the image in their minds?

Oh god, this pain is it even worth it to try?

These expectations just might leave me to die

[Verse 2]

I'm being torn apart from the inside

Am I keeping up appearances? I don't know

[Chorus]

What do I look like from the sidelines?

Force a smile so they don't know how you feel inside

Am I holding up to the image in their minds?

Oh god, this pain is it even worth it to try?

These expectations just might leave me to die
