Expectations

There’s always that certain someone

That drives you crazy

That expects everything from you

But all the while calls you lazy

 

There’s always that certain someone

That you strive so hard to please

But can never give you what you want

Despite the fact you’re on your knees

 

There’s always that certain someone

That is blind to the reason behind your tears

That says you can do better

But cannot see your progress over the years

 

There’s always that certain someone

That you love with all your heart

That claims to love you back

As they tear you apart

 

There’s always that certain someone

That tells you you’re wrong

That criticizes and still expects you

To be strong

 

There’s always that certain someone

That makes you learn the hard way

That keeps you from living your life

By their words day by day

 

But though that certain someone

Is blind to your needs

And cuts you with their tongue

Get up off your knees

 

That certain someone

Cannot keep you down

Though you may be lonely

That real certain someone will be found
