Hopeless Romantic © 2017 Stephen A Schuster
He’s a lonely boy who lives for her existence
She’s his only joy but he loves her from a distance
Never will he say a word
Never will his voice be heard
Never will her heart be stirred in spite of his persistence
He’s a hopeless hopeless romantic
Always ready for a, ready for a, ready for a fall
You can see the way he stands there with his heart held in his hands
Hoping it isn’t all that hopeless after all
He waits across the road to watch her when she’s leaving
She will never know, inside his heart is bleeding
When his secret love appears
Pictures painted wet with tears
Are all that’s left as souvenirs when memories start receding
He’s a hopeless hopeless romantic…
A woman of heartbreaking beauty will break every piece of your heart
Her arms filled with forbidden fruit, she seduces you straight from the start
Her eyes and her laughter deceive you ‘til she tears you completely apart
That woman of heartbreaking beauty will break every piece of your heart
She’s come to recognize this can’t go any further
He listens to her cries, pretends he hasn’t heard her
She’s his candle in the night
Shadows painted black and white
Hoping they might reunite in suicide or murder.
He’s a hopeless hopeless romantic
Always ready for a, ready for a, ready for a fall
You can see the way he stands there with her heart held in his hands
Hoping it isn’t all that hopeless after all
A woman of heartbreaking beauty will break every piece of your heart…
