Expectations
Unmet Expectations: Confronting Disappointment
Lyrics
You never took the blame
You were never willing to take responsibility for things
All I felt was shame
I constantly felt embarrassed or guilty
You always looked so disappointed
You frequently appeared dissatisfied with me
I live my life outside the frame
I lived my life in a way that didn't fit your expectations
All your pent up rage
Your suppressed anger or frustration
You're screaming in my face
You were shouting at me
Your voice an echo inside my head
Your words kept echoing in my thoughts
I felt trapped in a cage
I felt confined or limited
I could never meet your expectations
I was never able to satisfy what you wanted from me
Or your objections
Nor could I fulfill your criticisms
Your shadow watching over me
Your influence or presence loomed over me
An indentation in my mind
A lasting impact or impression in my thoughts
You locked me in the dark
You kept me in a state of ignorance or isolation
You robbed me of my spark
You took away my enthusiasm or passion
All I wanted was to impress you
I wanted to gain your approval
But your words left their mark
Your words had a lasting effect on me
You tricked me like a fool
You deceived me in a way that pleased you
It made you feel cool
You found satisfaction in manipulating me
You always treat me like I'm a child
You treated me as if I were immature
But you are nothing but cruel
You were simply unkind or harsh
I could never meet your expectations
I couldn't live up to your standards
Or your objections
Nor could I satisfy your criticisms
Your shadow watching over me
Your presence continued to affect me deeply
An indentation in my mind
Leaving a significant mark or impact in my thoughts
You don't know how to apologise
You lacked the ability to express regret
You always go around spreading lies
You habitually spread falsehoods
You dismiss everything I say
You disregarded everything I tried to communicate
You're pushing me away
You were pushing me away emotionally or physically
I could never meet your expectations
I couldn't match what you expected from me
Or your objections
Nor could I meet your criticisms
Your shadow watching over me
Your influence continued to impact me significantly
An indentation in my mind
Leaving a lasting impression or mark in my thoughts
