Ryan Cato - Hopeless Romantic Lyrics

This first one's called Hopeless Romantic, and it was the hardest song to write on this album
Enjoy

This song's not romantic, but I guess it could've been
Considering it's about love, and I'd write love songs but then
I'd be a hopeless romantic, and I don't like to admit
When I'm feeling feelings, plus I love talking shit
About corny dudes who write poetry and touch their feminine side
But then I do it in secret, stuff it deep down inside
Of my heart

This song's not romantic but I guess it could've been
Considering it's about love, and I'd write love songs but then
I'd be in touch with my feelings, and that really scares me
But i know myself and I like to share it, but just barely

Because you know how you want to be vulnerable with someone
But you're also scared so you only open up a little bit? And to be honest, that's why

These songs are the spookiest thing I've done
The fact of the matter is I'm truthfully scared of being numb
Nerve death in my heart wouldn't really satisfy me
And her breath in the dark has really black tied me
That is
Asked me to look at my emotions
And not just attempt to be the Good Guy, Frank Ocean, and
Asked me to formalize what's inside, put it into words
Answer the whys and drop pride, and feel like I'm being heard

This song's not romantic but I guess it could've been
Considering it's about love and I'd write love songs but then
I'd be vulnerable, my heart unguarded
Uncomfortable, I've only just started
To share what's inside me, don't decide please
That I'm one of those corny dudes
Or maybe I am, but I refuse
To admit it

This song's not romantic, but I guess it could've been
Considering it's about love, and I'd write love songs but then
I'd be me, that corny dude, with sentiments, and poetry
I'd be dealing with my thoughts, gentrifying them, they don't control me
And I'd be loving myself, I guess that's the theme of the song
Loving who I'm made to be, loving who I'm not is wrong
And to love other people, I've gotta love myself too
Because pouring out is exhausting, but it's all I love to do

So I guess this song's romantic, as it should've been
Considering it's about love, but I'm out of ink in my pen
