Hopeless Romantic

By definition I'm a hopeless romantic 
so no matter what kinda decisions I made 
in the women I chose I always took responsibility 
for how it turned out… 
I never doubted the process 
just understood that my decisions were suspect 
and looking back I understand it 
in order to be a hopeless romantic
you first gotta be young enough to believe in hope 
because let's be honest hope is some young sh*t 
and like the revolutionary Huey Freeman once said 
"Hope is irrational" it's an idealist mentality 
it's empty calories, like drinking a diet soda 
after you just had a big mac that you just super-sized 
It's sky diving while having to dive out the plane 
to go and get the parachute 
yeah you may find it cute but your perception of love
It's a lil acute, your angle is slighty obtuse 
but that's the beauty of being a hopeless romantic 
especially when you're young, so optimistic 
while everyone else has a pessimistic view 
you're young so even if you do experience heartache 
you can take it, it won't break so easily 
no need to sweat your irrational decisions 
your good intentions are pure 
and the rest of the world are just cynics 
excuse my sarcasm, rumble young man rumble 
in this jungle it's best to be lion hearted 
just because your intent is pure 
doesn't mean theirs isn't tainted 
I'll leave that with you…
