Lyrics

Amateur

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm told the case is now closed

So I can come to my senses

But when the question is posed I'll have this meager defense

I was hoping that you'd know better than that I was hoping

But you're an amateur

I was hoping that you'd know better

But I've been wrong before

Despite conclusions I drew, there was a chance you'd surprise me

And you'd be better than you

'Cause I'd have left otherwise

I was hoping that you'd know better than that I was hoping

But you're an amateur

I was hoping that you'd know better

But I've been wrong before

So I wasn't thinking clearly

So you didn't think at all I thought that was protocol

I was hoping that you'd know better than that I was hoping

But you're an amateur

I was hoping that you'd know better

But I've been wrong before

I was hoping that I was hoping but you're an amateur

I was hoping that you'd know better

But I've been wrong before
