Expectations Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Up in bed, all alone
Wondering where you've been
Ten past three
I know the club closed at two A.M
I've already been through about seven scenarios
'Bout what it was that changed your mind
Knowing very well that you told me you'd come home
And it happened every time
[Chorus]
Wish I had no expectations
I wish that I could get it through your head
With no confrontation
I really wish we could talk about it instead
All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side
And you're in the same fucking bed
Wish I had no expectations
But I expect, you expect, we expect
[Verse 2]
No, I don't mean to pry
I don't need no play by play (Nah)
All I need from your side is for you to communicate
Respect for my time, respect for my space, respect for my energy
'Cause I've been waiting here all night for you to warm me up
And you haven't once thought of me
[Chorus]
Wish I had no expectations
I really wish that I could get it through your head
With no confrontation
I really wish we could talk about it instead
All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side
And you're in the same fucking bed
Wish I had no expectations
But I expect, you expect, we expect
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I had no expectations
I wish I could get through your head
With no confrontation (Confrontations)
I really wish we could talk about it instead (Instead)
All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side
And you're in the same fucking bed
Wish I had no expectations (No)
But I expect, you expect, we expect

Lauren Jauregui (via iHeartRadio)
Ever since I wrote it, it’s kind of had this magic to me that was particular and special, and when I went on tour with Ash[ley Frangipane a.k.a. Hals...

How did the song come about?
I had like a couple weeks in May right before I went out on tour with Ozzy in South America, where I went to a bunch of different sessions and that was one of the sessions that I went to with Kid Harpoon. I had like three days, but the first day was the day that I wrote this. The night before, I ha...
How did the beat come together?
We made that from scratch, too. Kid Harpoon would play stuff and I’d be like “That’s not it. That’s not it. We gotta get dirtier with it. We got to do this with it. We got to do this with it.” And I chose my guitarist, Lee So, from my band to complete the solo ‘cause she shreds. She’s amazing. I jus...
What's your songwriting process like?
They’re all different, to be honest. It all depends on who I’m working with. Like I love to kind of start from scratch usually because I go in with a different vibe every day. I don’t like a lot of people in the room. I like it to really just be me and the producer. For a couple of the songs that I...
Was recording this song emotional for you?
Every song that I write is kind of like therapy, whether I know I’m writing it or not. A lot of them come from a subconscious place that I haven’t even tapped into yet in my conscious mind. So, it’s always just about drawing from that. And when I do draw from that, it is incredibly therapeutic just...
