A rosebud is plucked before the flower blooms
I ruin everything by jumping in too soon
I cry tears of glitter that highlight my face
As I back myself into a dead end place
Midnight clock strikes over and over again
Time moves but I stop
Paused against the season
And all lost love will name me as the reason
I'm the reason
I'm the reason
It's all my fault that I can't love
I expect too soon
I expect too much
But I'm a hopeless romantic
I'm a hopeless romantic
I want a fairy tale end
but the tragedy begins
I'm a hopeless romantic
I'm a hopeless romantic
I used to crave all those fairy tale romances
I used to think that I blew through all my chances
When I met you I realized that life can surprise
And even in the gray
Everything will work out alright
Midnight clock strikes over and over again
Time moves but I stop, pause against the season
And all lost love will name me as the reason
I'm the reason
I'm the reason
It's all my fault that I can't love
I expect too soon
I expect too much
But I'm a hopeless romantic
I'm a hopeless romantic
I want a fairy tale end
but the tragedy begins
I'm a hopeless romantic
I'm a hopeless romantic
Here's to bridges burned
Here's to lessons learned
Here's to being heartbroken
Love will always find a way
Everything will be okay
The sun keeps shining
It's all my fault that I can't love
I expect too soon
I expect too much
But I'm a hopeless romantic
I'm a hopeless romantic
I want a fairy tale end
but the tragedy begins
I'm a hopeless romantic
I'm a hopeless romantic
