“Expectations” is the titular song from Wild Child’s upcoming album. It was released along “Think It Over” on November 13, 2017. In the song, the singer laments the unreasonable expectations she sets for her partner.
[Verse]
We met and it was simple
I had it all and you were the one
That would make it all okay
You made me feel so different
We had each other night after night
All my troubles went away
But of course, it's just not the same
We try to hold too tightly, everything's gonna change, oh
Make the rules and it's just a game
[Chorus]
I can't stop burning bridges
I'll win you over, make you my own
And then we'll both feel different
You can't possibly give what I want from you
I know I said you were perfect
I made the rules that you didn't know
All of these expectations
You can't possibly give what I want from you
[Verse]
So now I treat you different
I made a list of all that I need
And I left it up to you
I treat you like a stranger
And talk to strangers like they know me
It's your fault for all I do
As if you don't suffer too
I tied up all our shit into something that we can't undo, oh
These are the rules I should follow, too
[Chorus]
I can't stop burning bridges
I'll win you over, make you my own
And then we'll both feel different
You can't possibly give what I want from you
I know I said you were perfect
I made the rules that you didn't know
All of these expectations
You can't possibly give what I want from you
[Bridge]
Oh, it's all my fault
Never meant to be so unkind
I don't listen when you talk, oh
And what it comes down to is
I'm just afraid to lose something that shouldn't be mine, oh
[Chorus]
I can't stop burning bridges
I'll win you over, make you my own
And then we'll both feel different
You can't possibly give what I want from you
I know I said you were perfect
I made the rules that you didn't know
All of these expectations
You can't possibly give what I want from you
[Outro]
You can't possibly give what I want from you
You can't possibly give what I want from you
