My friends keep telling me I write too many sad songs
But they don't understand the sorrow that I've been going through
I s'pose I can't defend these accusations against me
‘cause all the songs they've heard were written long …
Before you
When I was a no one and my life was falling apart
Before you
When I had no one walking around with a broken heart
Before you
Hopeless romantic
Before you
So now my friends instead of being all supportive
They try to tell me that I've changed and that I need to think this through
‘cause baby girl you've got me whipped in all directions
What they don't realize is the real pain came longÂ…
before you
When I was a no one and my life was falling apart
Before you
When I had no one walking around with a broken heart
Before you
I was so desperate, doomed from the very start
Before you
Hopeless romantic
Now I'm the one that's smiling as you walk by my room and I'm tongue 
tied
Yeah I'm the one that's smiling ‘cause I got you by my side for the rest of 
my life
My friends may think I'm crazy but they don't have a clue
That this hopeless romantic has got his mind set on you
(Hopeless romantic)
I could buy her flowers and take her on a date
We could have a good time and things are going great
(Hopeless romantic)
But as soon as things got serious our relationship would die
‘cause I was a hopeless romantic until the day you entered my life
(Hopeless romantic)
I could buy her flowers and take her on a date
We could have a good time and things are going great
(Hopeless romantic)
But as soon as things got serious our relationship would die
‘cause I was a hopeless romantic until the day you entered my life
(Hopeless romantic)
I could buy her flowers and take her on a date
We could have a good time and things are going greatÂ…..
