Steve Earle
Hopeless Romantics
[Verse 1]
You can love most of the people most of the time
Now and again if you're looking, I'm sure you will find
Someone is helplessly hoping someday they'll finally find the one
Hopeless romantics keep hoping that someday will come
[Verse 2]
Used to be you could be sure that a warrior was true
Nowadays everyone knows that it's cool to be blue
Constantly circling close to the flame and then stopping on a dime
Hopeless romantics will go down in flames every time
[Bridge]
Hopeless romantics drop everything and run
When they find a broken heart
Always afraid that they're missing someone
With time on their hands and a missing part
[Verse 3]
So one of these nights when you're sitting at home all alone
And you've finally admitted you're lonely right down to the bone
You might as well get on out in it, 'cause you've got everything to lose
Hopeless romantics are always at home with the blues
[Outro]
And a broken heart
Find the missing part
Hopeless romantics are usually hopelessly true
