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…
