Hopeless Romantic Lyrics

Yeah

You don't know what you lost, you don't know what I gained

You don't know how it feels when people mention your name

I'm just tryna fit in but see I'm in my own lane, at least you knew that much

Different, I'm not the same

Good luck finding someone better

Please, keep my sweater, the one I gave you at church

And when you read that letter, I hope you realize I loved you, I really did

I saw you smile felt so happy like a little kid

I poured my heart out in that poem that I gave to you

Hopeless romantic thinking maybe I should change my views

These women seem to start lying when I tell the truth

It's like the more I start trying, the less they do

Went from a love song to this, things change so fast

But then again I can't be reminiscing on the past, I'm thankful for it

I grew and plus I wrote this track

Thought you were special, cause all I seen before was wack

But in the end you just a girl who don't love me back

I'm getting over it, I'm trying, I really am

It's hard to see you on my timeline on Instagram

So I just try to swipe past it and ignore your stories, cause ours is over

But you different than you were before me

Feel like I gave you a part of me that you can't return

And yeah, that paper I wrote on you can rip and burn

But all the things you discovered with me, you can't unlearn

Know how it feels to be loved, I set the bar so high

I don't know if you can get that from another guy

And I'm not saying you're not worthy, cause that's just not true

I'm just saying it was special how I treated you

And when I looked into your eyes I saw more than blue

You said you wouldn't waste my time, well I guess that was a lie

Now I'm sitting writing rhymes about the girl I thought was mine

But I know it's by design, He ain't want us to align

He ain't want us to align

Listen

You remember when I told you I loved you

Or when you told me don't be scared cause I could really trust you

Now I'm thinking about that moment, did I make a mistake

Were the things you told me real or were the feelings all fake

Yeah, you held my heart together, then you made that shit break

Now I'm sitting in my bed by myself lying awake

I'm tired but I can't sleep

I'm looking but I can't seem to find the woman that's gon hold me down while I chase these dreams

It's crazy cause I thought that was you

You told me you were losing feelings, baby, I was too

But I knew the reason, it wasn't something that was gonna make me say I'm leaving

I would have waited for you, patient is a state of being

I understood your situation baby

I was in your corner, maybe I was too involved

Or maybe we could have resolved all these feelings of guilt

Had you distracted, preoccupied, forsaking what we built

Yeah

I know hiding me wasn't easy

Abiding by the rules your parents placed for you wasn't either, but baby listen

You told me I was the best man in your life

I gave you the best advice

Shit, I saw my future wife in you

Yeah

All that for nothing but a text

Went from your name to just ex

All I can now is reflect

Should I wait for you to come back or just move on to the next

Man, this always how it goes, what the fuck did I expect

And that letter you were writing I never got to read

I ain't want to win alone, with you was dying to succeed

Man, this shit was a reality now it's just a dream

Maybe love is what I want, but it's not something I need

And that letter you were writing I never got to read

I ain't want to win alone, with you was dying to succeed

Man, this shit was a reality now it's just a dream

Maybe love is what I want, but it's not something I need
