Hopeless Romantic

Am I hoplessly romantic, or am I just hopless for you?
From the west to the atlantic, I'm hoplessly searching for proof
that there's hope for me somewhere, somewhere there's a chance
that this glance that we keep throwing will turn out to be more than just a glance

'Cause
I want to live a life worth living,
but hearts weren't made to be forgiving,
and it's strife to go through with all this pain
I can't stand being alone without you
and yet I feel alone beside you too
I feel like i'll never live that way again

So tell me, what is it you're thinking
when you go home and when your wishing, do you wish for me?
tell me, what you're really feeling
and is it so, just so appealing
that I'd want to feel it, too
I can get you off my mind
You could at least say you tried
Tried to make this work and maybe,
if you really love me baby,
we could make it work this time

Do I want to be romantic, or should I just be blunt and skip the lines?
'cause boy, you've got me frantic and I'm running all around asking you why
we couldn't make this better, we could of made this better if we'd wanted
It's a little late now, now my empty heart is being haunted
by
ghosts of all our former selves
saying, "God, it feels like hell,
could anyone make this poor girl heal?"
Their voices echo off the hollow walls
No one can hear my crying calls
It's finally sinking in: my fate's for real

So tell me, what is it you're thinking
when you go home and when your wishing, do you wish for me?
tell me, what you're really feeling
and is it so, just so appealing
that I'd want to feel it, too
I can get you off my mind
You could at least say you tried
Tried to make this work and maybe,
if you really love me baby,
we could make it work this time

And do I want to have your hand
inside my own?
Do I want to have you and
no longer be alone?
Are you big enough to fill the space?
Strong enough to fix this place,
and though I long for you embrace,
I can't stand the thought of your empty face

And do I want to have your hand
inside my own?
Do I want to have you and
no longer be alone?
Are you big enough to fill the space?
Strong enough to fix this place,
and though I long for you embrace,
the hole you left can't be replaced...


Tell me, what is it you're thinking
when you go home and when your wishing, do you wish for me?
tell me what your really feeling (tell me, tell me)
and is it so, just so appealing (appealing)
that i'd want to feel it too

So tell me, what is it you're thinking
when you go home and when your wishing, do you wish for me?
tell me, what you're really feeling
and is it so, just so appealing
that I'd want to feel it, too
I can get you off my mind
You could at least say you tried
Tried to make this work and maybe,
if you really love me baby,
we could make it work this time
We could make it work this time.
We could make it work this time.
