There was never any question in mind..
she was the woman I felt lucky to find..
She gave me love that seemed oh so real..
a secret treasure that nobody could steal..
I was mistaken.

Now the days pass, I feel so out of touch,
and if the world turns I don't notice it much..
I'm deep inside myself re-living the past,..
when she promised me that her love would last,..

I just a hopeless romantic in my own little world,
revolving around the lost love of a girl..
a hopeless romantic looking back where I've been,
and wishing that I could do it over again..
but the world doesn't wait for a hopeless romantic like me..

'Too sentimental'..that's what all my friends say..
but thoughts so gentle,,oh they take me away...
to a time when I had all of her love..
and anymore that's all that I've been thinking of..
I'm such a dreamer..

I should surrender, give up this romance..
lonely pretender,..who hasn't a chance..
I just cant seem to face the fact,..
that it's over and she's not coming back..

I'm just a hopeless romantic in my own little world
revolving around the lost love of a girl..
a hopeless romantic looking back where I've been,
and wishing that I could do it over again..
but the world doesn't wait for a hopeless romantic like me..

There will be others I know,..I shouldn't despair..
but loosing that girl has just been more than I can bear..

I'm going to let go,..cast my fate to the wind..
and what I don't know cannot hurt me again
I'll forgive and I might even forget..
but when I think of her I'll always admit..

I'm just a hopeless romantic
