Disappointment

Intro

Yeah…

Another night staring at the ceiling

Thought this year would change everything

But here I am… still waiting

Verse 1

Woke up chasing shadows of who I could’ve been

Promises I made to myself at seventeen

Said I’d break the cycle, build something real

But the mirror shows the same tired deal

Friends moved on, got the house, got the ring

I’m still renting space for broken things

Dreams I planted never saw the sun

Roots dried up before they begun

Pre-Chorus

I keep telling myself “next time it’ll stick”

But hope feels like a bad habit I can’t quit

Every “almost” cuts a little deeper

Life’s got a way of being a leaver

Chorus

Disappointment’s my oldest friend

Shows up uninvited, stays till the end

Built my castles out of “maybe someday”

Watched ‘em wash away in the rain

I’m tired of smiling through the cracks

Pretending I’m okay when I’m falling back

Life keeps handing me the same old line

“You’ll get there”… but I’m running out of time

(Disappointment, yeah… it’s mine)

Verse 2

Parents said “work hard, you’ll make it out”

Gave it everything, still sleeping on the couch

Love came close then ghosted like a thief

Took the best parts and left me grief

I see the highlights on my screen at night

Everybody winning, I’m losing the fight

Wonder if I’m the punchline or the joke

Or just another heart that life broke

Pre-Chorus

I keep rewriting the ending in my head

But the story stays the same instead

Every door I knock stays locked and cold

Starting to believe this is all I’m owed

Chorus

Disappointment’s my oldest friend

Shows up uninvited, stays till the end

Built my castles out of “maybe someday”

Watched ‘em wash away in the rain

I’m tired of smiling through the cracks

Pretending I’m okay when I’m falling back

Life keeps handing me the same old line

“You’ll get there”… but I’m running out of time

Bridge

Maybe one day I’ll stop expecting miracles

Stop betting on futures that never arrive

Learn to live inside the wreckage

Find peace in what’s left of the drive

But tonight… tonight it still hurts

To carry all this unspent worth

Final Chorus – softer, fading

Disappointment’s still right here

Whispering doubts in my ear

But maybe the scar is proof I tried

Maybe the fall is how I survive

Yeah… disappointment

You can stay a little longer

But one day… I won’t call you home

Outro

Yeah…

Still here

Still breathing

Still disappointed…

But still breathing
