Hopeless

I am just a hopeless boy, chasing a hopeless girl Dreaming we would dance together, take your arm and give you a twirl I’ve always wanted to tell you I love you But I didn’t know what you’d do I would always say “Today’s the day!” But it never ended up being true Then one day I walked up to your door My eyes never left the floor I had been practicing what I needed to say I soon got my answer when I was told you had moved away We both grew up in a different place All while holding onto the memory of your face When suddenly I got the news that you were in a coma I caught whiff of fears bitter aroma I drove way down to where you were at Sat down in your hospital room and took off my hat I watch you lay motionless in bed Until the doctor came in and said A horrifying thing that filled me with fright He said you wouldn’t survive the night Hopeless, hopeless is everything We never shared a dance, I’ve never heard you sing We never took a drive down by lake Never shared a slice of birthday cake Then I felt a touch on my arm One I knew meant no harm I looked up to see you standing there Beautiful body, sweet eyes, and hair Ten months later we shared our first kiss I learned a lesson … NEVER SAY HOPELESS
