Expectations Lyrics

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

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 and you didn't know
All of these expectations
You can't possibly give what I want from you

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 all our shit into something we can't undo
These are the rules I should follow, too

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 and you didn't know
All of these expectations
You can't possibly give what I want from you

Oh, it's all my fault
Never meant to so unkind
I don't listen when you talk
Oh, what it comes down to is I'm afraid of losing something that shouldn't be mine, oh

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 and you didn't know
All of these expectations
You can't possibly give what I want from you

You can't possibly give what I want from you
You can't possibly give what I want from you
