Navigating Hope's Detour: Aimee Mann's Amateur InsightsLyrics
I'm told the case is now closed
I've been informed that the matter is now concluded
So I can come to my senses
So now I can regain my rational thinking
But when the question is posed
However, when the inquiry is raised
I'll have this meager defense
I'll only have this weak justification
I was hoping that you'd know better than that
I had expected you to possess superior judgment
I was hoping but you're an amateur
My anticipation was misplaced as you lack experience or skill
I was hoping that you'd know better
I had hoped for your better understanding
But I've been wrong before
Yet, I've been mistaken in my beliefs previously
Despite conclusions I drew
Despite the assumptions I made
There was a chance you'd surprise me
There existed a possibility that you might pleasantly surprise me
And you'd be better than you
And you could have been a better version of yourself
Cause I'd have left otherwise
As otherwise, I would have departed
I was hoping that you'd know better than that
I had hoped for your greater discernment
I was hoping but you're an amateur
My hope was unfounded as you lack expertise or professionalism
I was hoping that you'd know better
I had hoped for your improved knowledge
But I've been wrong before
However, I've misjudged situations in the past
So I wasn't thinking clearly
So, I wasn't thinking clearly
So you didn't think at all
And you didn't consider at all
I thought was protocol
What I thought was proper procedure
I was hoping that you'd know better than that
I had hoped for your superior understanding
I was hoping but you're an amateur
However, my hope was misplaced as you lack experience or skill
I was hoping that you'd know better
I had hoped for your improved knowledge
But I've been wrong before
Yet, I've been wrong in my expectations previously
I was hoping that,
I had hoped that
I was hoping but you're an amateur
My hope was unfounded as you lack expertise or professionalism
I was hoping that you'd know better
I had hoped for your improved knowledge
But I've been wrong before
However, I've misjudged situations in the past
