The words and melody of this song beautifully touches upon a rather delicate topic - a characteristic (perhaps, flaw) of humans. We tend to judge everyone and every situation, consciously or unconsciously; the worst judgments tend to be placed on people we love the most. People who we hold on a higher level, to higher expectations.
But who are we to judge? What capacity do we have to affect the ones we love, and to change them to act the way we expect them to act? Expect may be a poor word choice... perhaps, it's just a wish. Unfortunately, what we want from others, especially the ones we love the most - sometimes, that want just can't be satisfied. Only they can live their lives. Who are we to judge how someone else lives, just because it conflicts with our wants, our views?
In the end, we're only passing by. There's only so much we can expect, only so much we can do; there's an unfortunate, extreme sense of hopelessness
