i think that this song is one where a person is hoping their crush/boyfriend/person they're "talking" to will be perfect for them because that's what they want. unfortunately, she finds out that he isn't all she made him out to be. this seems to have happened to her in the past but she still gives out chances to the next guy. because of this, i kind of feel it's ironic because since she keeps making the same mistakes, she could almost be considered an "amateur" herself - someone who isn't an expert on a subject
