Against Our Expectations - Mexican Institute of Sound

Used to think I knew you But that thought passed through Skeletons speak softly You got bones in your room Can't think past two 'Cause my thoughts black and blue Can't shake it off, sorry Elephant in the room 'Cause I was just growing up In high school, your friends had better grades than us And more money than us, I wasn't giving it up I know you're losing my trust, just had to follow it up Expectation, I'm waiting for you To tell me I made it up to you Tryna work on my patience But twice a day, I be praying to hear from you If a tree fell in the forest Those are words from my mouth They run right past you Like a star burning out Misunderstood You wear a mask on your face, Miss Hollywood I'm just another page in the pile of books And you'll forget about me like you probably should Nowadays, I'm good though Take it slow if I wanna move solo I'm me, I'm no silhouette Take the past and I put it to rest Expectation, I'm waiting for you To tell me I made it up to you Tryna work on my patience But twice a day, I be praying to hear from you You had expectations for me I know, I know But look how far I've come on my own I've been all alone Expectation, I'm waiting for you To tell me I made it up to you Tryna work on my patience But twice a day, I be praying to hear from you

I keep on having this dream where I'm seventeen Slipping through the cafeteria trying not to be seen I see my brother, he's sitting there with some kids He smiles at me and waves, I fake a smile and sit Down at the table, but something's off and I know it 'Cause when I try and say something nobody seems to take notice I kinda like it, but then I start to feel strange Like the time I went on Amazon to buy myself a date When did things get pixelated? I can't keep my concentration I've lost my imagination To such great expectations All the things that I never said They keep crawling back to me All the things that I never did They still haunt me in my dreams All the years I've spent All the lives I've faked Just to keep myself protected From all the things that I never said That I never said That I never said I keep a rolodex inside of my head of All the times I had a chance to just be honest, instead I made a joke to changed the subject because my confidence said "Hey, listen, if you mess this up They're gonna judge you, my friend!" I'm living in a state of pure paralysis, see I like to think, think, think, but my action is weak My interaction is bleak, if life's a herd, I'm a sheep Guess I'm not really that much different than at age seventeen When did things get pixelated? I can't keep my concentration I've lost my imagination To such great expectations All the things that I never said They keep crawling back to me All the things that I never did They still haunt me in my dreams All the years I've spent All the lives I've faked Just to keep myself protected From all the things that I never said That I never said That I never said All of the things we wish we said They drag me down until I'm dead You say the best is yet to come Can anyone figure out what's wrong with us? All the things that I never said They keep crawling back to me All the things that I never did They still haunt me in my dreams All the years I've spent All the lives I've faked Just to keep myself protected From all the things that I never said That I never said That I never said
