Unmet Expectations: Love's Lonely Hours
Lyrics
Up in bed, all alone
Reflecting on being in bed alone.
Wondering where you've been
Curiosity about the partner's whereabouts.

Expressing sadness and frustration, crying while facing away from the partner in bed.
And you're in the same fucking bed
Noting the irony of being in the same bed while emotionally distant.
Wish I had no expectations
Reiterating the desire for no expectations.
But I expect, you expect, we expect
Acknowledging mutual expectations despite the desire to have none.
No, I don't mean to pry
Clarifying no intention to pry into the partner's affairs.
I don't need no play by play (Nah)
Rejecting the need for a detailed account of events.
All I need from your side is for you to communicate
Requesting basic communication and respect for time, space, and energy.
Respect for my time, respect for my space, respect for my energy
Emphasizing the importance of respect in various aspects of the relationship.
'Cause I've…
