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 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 new
'cause i'd have left otherwise
i was hoping that you'd know better than that
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 that you'd know better
but i've been wrong before
i was hoping that you'd know better
but i've been wrong before
