Expectations Lyrics by Okay, Bye

Okay, Bye

2019

[Intro]
My mum and dad got married when they were only nineteen
And so did my mum’s mum and her mum, now I’m numb to Following this ritual‚ stupid routine
When I was still a kid being brainwashed by another generation’s dream

[Verse 1]
When I was young I drew pictures in all of my books of nuclear families
And everywhere I looked I was led to believe
That that was how my life was supposed to be‚ and
When I think back through toys I had in the '90s
That plastic shit‚ each fucking doll teaching girls to bring up families

[Chorus]
Your bullshit expectations are boring to me now
Your bullshit expectations are boring to me now

[Verse 2]
Oh honey, don’t you roll your eyes and say I’ll change my mind
When I grow up some more and I’ve settled down
I’ve had the same conversation about a hundred times
And you’ll say I’ll feel differently, I just haven’t met 'the one'
Well‚ what the fuck does that mean? You don’t know me
I think this conversation’s done

[Chorus]
Your bullshit expectations are boring to me now
Your bullshit expectations are boring to me now

[Bridge]
I don’t have to live
The way our parents did
I think I’ve had about enough of all these expectations
I don’t give a fuck
About the choices that you make
So don’t expect for me to fake an interest or to do the same
Or to do the same

[Chorus]
Your bullshit expectations are boring to me now
Your bullshit expectations are boring to me now
