Hopeless Romantic

It was August 23rd when he first saw her
the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen
she would smile and her eyes would light up bright
with a radiance like none that had ever been
Try as he might, he couldn't help but think about her
yet everytime he'd see her he'd never make a play
he often dreamt of holding her tightly in his arms
but he was too afraid of pushing her away

And thats the way things go with the Hopeless Romantic
every day is just another chance to be a clown
with a tear painted directly on his face
but never does he make a single sound
wondering only when this circus will leave town

September 19th they all went out to dinner
the girl and he and some friends that came along
he spent all night joking, laughing, hiding his true feelings
but deep inside his heart something was wrong
Still, he'd go home and reminisce on all the things about her
that made him love her more and more each day
her laugh, her smile, her touch, they were only the beginning
after somewhere, somehow, someday

And thats the way things go with the Hopeless Romantic
every day is just another chance to be a clown
with a tear painted directly on his face
but never does he make a single sound
wondering only when this circus will leave town

I am worthy, he sighs
I am waiting, he cries
I am willing, he lies

And thats the way things go with the Hopeless Romantic
every day is just another chance to be a clown
with a tear painted directly on his face
but never does he make a single sound
wondering only when this circus will leave town
