Expectations
Lauren Jauregui, Thomas Edward Percy Hull
Up in bed, all alone
Wondering where you've been
Ten past three
I know the club closed at 2 AM
I've already been through about seven scenarios
'Bout what it was that changed your mind
Knowing very well that you told me you'd come home
And it happens every time
Wish I had no expectations
I wish that I could get it through your head
With no confrontation
I really wish we could talk about it instead
All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side
And you're in the same fucking bed
Wish I had no expectations
But I expect, you expect, we expect
No, I don't mean to pry
I don't need no play by play (nah)
All I need from your side is for you to communicate
Respect for my time, respect for my space, respect for my energy
'Cause I've been waiting here all night for you to warm me up
And you haven't once thought of me
Wish I had no expectations
I really wish that I could get it through your head
With no confrontation
I really wish we could talk about it instead
All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side
And you're in the same fucking bed
Wish I had no expectations
But I expect, you expect, we expect
Oh, I wish I had no expectations
I wish I could get through your head
With no confrontation (confrontations)
I really wish we could talk about it instead (instead)
All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side
And you're in the same fucking bed
Wish I had no expectations (no)
But I expect, you expect, we expect
Expectativas Desfeitas: A Dor do Desencontro em Expectations de Lauren Jauregui
A música Expectations de Lauren Jauregui, ex-integrante do grupo Fifth Harmony, é uma balada poderosa que explora os sentimentos de frustração e desilusão em um relacionamento amoroso. A letra da canção revela a angústia de alguém que espera por seu parceiro, imaginando várias razões para o atraso ou a ausência, enquanto lida com a dura realidade de que as promessas feitas não foram cumpridas. A narrativa lírica é construída em torno da expectativa de um retorno que nunca acontece como planejado, o que gera um ciclo de decepção.
A artista utiliza a repetição do termo 'expectations' (expectativas) para enfatizar o peso que essas esperanças têm sobre ela, destacando a vulnerabilidade emocional que acompanha o ato de esperar por alguém. A canção também aborda a comunicação falha dentro do relacionamento, onde há um desejo claro por diálogo e compreensão, mas o que prevalece é o silêncio e a falta de consideração pelo tempo e espaço da outra pessoa. A menção às 'lágrimas que eu choro' enquanto o parceiro está na mesma cama, mas emocionalmente distante, ilustra a solidão que pode ser sentida mesmo na presença física de alguém.
Musicalmente, Expectations é marcada por uma sonoridade que combina elementos do R&B com um toque de soul, o que contribui para a atmosfera introspectiva e um tanto melancólica da música. Lauren Jauregui entrega uma performance vocal intensa e emotiva, que transmite a dor e a frustração de suas palavras. A canção é um reflexo da complexidade dos relacionamentos modernos, onde as expectativas muitas vezes não correspondem à realidade e onde a comunicação é chave para a resolução de conflitos. Expectations é um lembrete de que, às vezes, esperar menos pode ser um caminho para evitar desapontamentos e preservar o próprio bem-estar emocional.
Up in bed, all alone
Na cama, completamente sozinha
Wondering where you've been
Perguntando onde você esteve
Ten past three
Dez depois das três
I know the club closed at 2 AM
Eu sei que o clube fechou às 2 da manhã
I've already been through about seven scenarios
Eu já passei por cerca de sete cenários
'Bout what it was that changed your mind
Sobre o que foi que mudou sua mente
Knowing very well that you told me you'd come home
Sabendo muito bem que você me disse que voltaria para casa
And it happens every time
E isso acontece toda vez
Wish I had no expectations
Queria não ter expectativas
I wish that I could get it through your head
Queria que eu pudesse fazer você entender
With no confrontation
Sem confronto
I really wish we could talk about it instead
Realmente queria que pudéssemos conversar sobre isso
All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side
Todas essas lágrimas que eu choro enquanto estou virada para o lado
And you're in the same fucking bed
E você está na mesma maldita cama
Wish I had no expectations
Queria não ter expectativas
But I expect, you expect, we expect
Mas eu espero, você espera, nós esperamos
No, I don't mean to pry
Não, eu não quero bisbilhotar
I don't need no play by play (nah)
Eu não preciso de uma narração (não)
All I need from your side is for you to communicate
Tudo que eu preciso do seu lado é que você se comunique
Respect for my time, respect for my space, respect for my energy
Respeito pelo meu tempo, respeito pelo meu espaço, respeito pela minha energia
'Cause I've been waiting here all night for you to warm me up
Porque eu estive aqui a noite toda esperando você me aquecer
And you haven't once thought of me
E você nem uma vez pensou em mim
Wish I had no expectations
Queria não ter expectativas
I really wish that I could get it through your head
Realmente queria que eu pudesse fazer você entender
With no confrontation
Sem confronto
I really wish we could talk about it instead
Realmente queria que pudéssemos conversar sobre isso
All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side
Todas essas lágrimas que eu choro enquanto estou virada para o lado
And you're in the same fucking bed
E você está na mesma maldita cama
Wish I had no expectations
Queria não ter expectativas
But I expect, you expect, we expect
Mas eu espero, você espera, nós esperamos
Oh, I wish I had no expectations
Oh, eu queria não ter expectativas
I wish I could get through your head
Queria que eu pudesse fazer você entender
With no confrontation (confrontations)
Sem confronto (confrontos)
I really wish we could talk about it instead (instead)
Realmente queria que pudéssemos conversar sobre isso (em vez disso)
All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side
Todas essas lágrimas que eu choro enquanto estou virada para o lado
And you're in the same fucking bed
E você está na mesma maldita cama
Wish I had no expectations (no)
Queria não ter expectativas (não)

Up in bed, all alone
Sdraiata a letto, tutta sola
Wondering where you've been
Chiedendomi dove sei stato
Ten past three
Dieci passate le tre
I know the club closed at 2 AM
So che il club ha chiuso alle 2 di mattina
I've already been through about seven scenarios
Ho già passato in rassegna circa sette scenari
'Bout what it was that changed your mind
Su cosa possa aver cambiato la tua mente
Knowing very well that you told me you'd come home
Sapendo molto bene che mi avevi detto che saresti tornato a casa
And it happens every time
E succede ogni volta
Wish I had no expectations
Vorrei non avere aspettative
I wish that I could get it through your head
Vorrei che potessi farlo entrare nella tua testa
With no confrontation
Senza confronti
I really wish we could talk about it instead
Vorrei davvero che potessimo parlarne invece
All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side
Tutte queste lacrime che piango mentre mi giro dall'altra parte
And you're in the same fucking bed
E tu sei nello stesso cazzo di letto
Wish I had no expectations
Vorrei non avere aspettative
But I expect, you expect, we expect
Ma io mi aspetto, tu ti aspetti, ci aspettiamo
No, I don't mean to pry
No, non intendo ficcare il naso
I don't need no play by play (nah)
Non ho bisogno di un resoconto (nah)
All I need from your side is for you to communicate
Tutto ciò di cui ho bisogno da te è che tu comunichi
Respect for my time, respect for my space, respect for my energy
Rispetto per il mio tempo, rispetto per il mio spazio, rispetto per la mia energia
'Cause I've been waiting here all night for you to warm me up
Perché sono stata qui tutta la notte ad aspettare che tu mi scaldassi
And you haven't once thought of me
E non hai pensato a me nemmeno una volta
Wish I had no expectations
Vorrei non avere aspettative
I really wish that I could get it through your head
Vorrei davvero che potessi farlo entrare nella tua testa
With no confrontation
Senza confronti
I really wish we could talk about it instead
Vorrei davvero che potessimo parlarne invece

But I expect, you expect, we expect
Ma io mi aspetto, tu ti aspetti, ci aspettiamo
Oh, I wish I had no expectations
Oh, vorrei non avere aspettative
I wish I could get through your head
Vorrei poter farlo entrare nella tua testa
With no confrontation (confrontations)
Senza confronti (confronti)
I really wish we could talk about it instead (instead)
