Helpless Hopeless Romantic Lyrics

I know we've only met a few times

But I think I'm falling blind

Cause your voice has been stuck in my mind

Like a pillow that's been stained with wine

And I'm just a bag of bones with a heart that knows

What it wants out of life

And right now what it wants

Is for me to be in love with the thought of loving you

But it turns out

I'm just a helpless hopeless romantic

Who's hearts been put back on the shelf

Cause this helpless hopeless romantic

Just found out

You wrote a love song for someone else

So it seems we have more in common

Than just what the eye can see

Cause we both write what we're feeling

Then disguise them as lyrics

But now you're rhymes are what's hurting me

Cause they're showing

I'm just a helpless hopeless romantic

Who's hearts been put back on the shelf

Cause this helpless hopeless romantic

Just found out

You wrote a love song for someone else

And now you have left me waiting by the house of fun

But in your defense I guess I never really asked you to come

So I'll just throw out the pillow and I'll walk home alone down the winding road

Cause I didn't have the courage in the words of a poet to make love known

So I guess I'll always be

Just a helpless hopeless romantic

Who's hearts been put back on the shelf

Cause this helpless hopeless romantic

Just found out

You wrote a love song for someone else
