Insane departures call for unbearable pain
do you think that's what i want?
she said "you're all i've ever dreamed of"
he said "I'm betting i'm not"

Left in the aftermath of a hypocritical situation
caught in the dust of another failed relation
i'm just a hopeless romantic
hopeless romantic (x2)

Time for a message to be put on display
if it wasn't for you i'd still be alive
the warning sirens flash and for one second
you catch a glimpse of my pale dead face

Then you hear the zipper
my face disappears from your gaze
i'm sorry it couldn't be better
i'm enjoying this walk in the haze

Left in the aftermath of a hypocritical situation
caught in the dust of another failed relation
i'm just a hopeless romantic
hopeless romantic (x5)
