Lyrics

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
