Lyrics Expectations - Ella Isaacson, Gallant

Expectations

Didn’t lock me in it for a bit
I learned that from you
Clothes that you gave me didn’t fit
The life didn’t too
Mirrors were my best friend
'Cause they told me the truth
Oh woah
And that just wouldn’t do
Know that you always meant well
But it fell like a slap in the face
Maybe you’ll finally get it some day
Believe me, I had different expectations too
So sure that I would end up just like you
I know that you let it all out for me
For a second, I thought it would be right for me
I had different expectations too
Believe me, I had different expectations too
Told you that I’m at the tattoo
But I broke my own rules
Claiming that my love is kinda fit
Sounds like another excuse
You blame it on the distance (uh)
But you can’t show me the proof
Oh, I do everything to win but I lose
You say you know that I always meant well
But you keep making up new mistakes
Girl, gotta get out your own way
Believe me
I had different expectations too
So sure that I would end up just like you (eh)
I know that you let it all out for me
For a second, I thought it would be right for me
I had different expectations too
Believe me, I had different expectations too
Really thought it would be me and you
Believe me, I had different expectations too
