Expectations
Tequisha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With that look on your face
Cause we've fallen from grace
I just stare, counting away every second we waste
Tell myself that things will change,
If they just stay the same,
A losing game
Then I go and
Say it again
I hate when you do that
Voice in my head comes back round again oh oh
Losing all my expectations
Say it again
My heart on a string
This habit of ours, undo everything oh oh
Losing all my expectations
I get bored
Of the push and the pull and the hundred to null oh
You get short
And I do what I do,
Bite back at you
Oh my gosh
I tell myself that things will change,
Oh only if they stay the same, our losing game
Then I go and say it again
I hate when you do that
Voice in my head comes back round again oh oh
Losing all my expectations
Say it again
My heart on a string
This habit of ours, undo everything oh oh
Losing all my expectations
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Line by Line Meaning
You sit there
You are passive and unresponsive
With that look on your face
Expressing disappointment or judgment
Cause we've fallen from grace
Because our relationship has deteriorated
I just stare, counting away every second we waste
I observe, realizing how much time we're wasting
Tell myself that things will change
Trying to convince myself that improvements are possible
If they just stay the same
If nothing actually changes
A losing game
A situation where we constantly lose
Then I go and
But then I end up doing
Say it again
Repeating myself
I hate when you do that
Disliking your behavior
Voice in my head comes back round again oh oh
My inner thoughts resurface, causing frustration
Losing all my expectations
Losing hope or optimism
My heart on a string
My emotions easily manipulated or controlled
This habit of ours, undo everything oh oh
Our repeated actions cause damage and negative consequences
I get bored
Feeling uninterested or tired
Of the push and the pull and the hundred to null oh
Tired of the conflicts and fluctuations that lead to nothing
You get short
You become impatient or aggravated
And I do what I do, bite back at you
Reacting defensively or combatively towards you
Oh my gosh
Expressing frustration or disbelief
Oh oh oh
Vocalizing frustration or annoyance
