Hopeless Romantics
James Tw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't hold your breath
I don't think we got much time left
We tried our best
Maybe now we lay this to rest

The hope we had
Has fallen through our hands like sand
Do you ever think we had a chance?
Now I see it when I'm looking back

We were hopeless romantics
How did this happen?
Baby, our love was beautiful, now it's tragic
We were hopeless romantics
But I can't imagine
Falling in love with anybody else, anybody else

One last time
I wanna feel your skin touching mine
When we say goodbye
I don't wanna see you cry or put up a fight
All I ask
Is you remember all the times we had
Hope the memories they make you laugh
And you see it when you're looking back

We were hopeless romantics
How did this happen?
Baby, our love was beautiful, now it's tragic
We were hopeless romantics
But I can't imagine
Falling in love with anybody else, anybody else

We put our all in
But now we're falling
We didn't know when to call it
Now we're touching down
Put out all in
But now we've fallen
It makes sense to me now

We were hopeless romantics
How did this happen?
Baby, our love was beautiful, now it's tragic
We were hopeless romantics
And I can't imagine
You falling in love with anybody else

We were hopeless romantics
How did this happen?
Baby, our love was beautiful, now it's tragic
We were hopeless romantics
And I can't imagine
Falling in love with anybody else

Don't hold your breath
I don't think we got much time left

Overall Meaning

James Tw's "Hopeless Romantics" is a heartfelt love song that showcases the emotions that both parties of a break-up generally experience. This track sees James reminiscing on a time period in which he and his partner were deeply in love, but despite a beautiful beginning, the relationship is coming to an end, and all that's left is an array of memories that reflect the pain and happiness they once shared.


The song begins with the realization that the relationship has run its course, and there's no more hope left. It moves on to a request for one last moment with his partner, hoping to relive their love. The chorus goes on to talk about how they were "hopeless romantics" and they never expected that they'd end up here. He goes on to wish for memories that will make her laugh in the future, and the song ends with him acknowledging that while they're no longer together, he still can't imagine her falling in love with anybody else.


Overall, "Hopeless Romantics" is a beautiful but heartbreaking story about a relationship's end, one that many listeners will be able to relate to.

We don`t die - we just leaving earth, as saved souls - who go up into HEAVEN or as unsaved souls - who go down into torment.
Dear soul, read the bible - full of information and an introduction to who GOD is we should serve.
We, all – saved and unsaved will put on IMMORTALITY, so not a single part of us should perish, but be everlasting.

The torment that awaits for the unsaved: REGRETS, that do not get forgiven (feeling sorry so deeply that it hurts inside yet knowing the whole time (forever) that no forgiven is found for you any longer. Is that enough of the torment? - oh dear soul, no, you will be placed in the middle of a lake full of fire (not water) and you will burn and not dying, for even you, who stayed wicked sinner (unsaved soul) did put on immortality that even single part of you cannot perish, but be everlasting.

Now, tell me, is that not a torment?

We can have a piece of that torment even here, many of us have been felt sorry/regret of thing we have done- right? - now Imagen, not getting forgiven for rest of your days.
See, we are found already in torment, in a temporary torment.
In the lake of fire, THE TORMENT LAST FOREVER. DAY AND NIGHT WITHOUT ANY KIND OF REST. NO DAY(S) OFF.
Even if you have been there (in torment) already for millions and trillions of years, you`ll be there same long.
That`s the something, we are trying you all warn about. Instead of dying twice, you`ll choose LIFE. The life(promises) that GOD promise to give us , IF WE REPENT AND BORN AGAIN =GET SAVED.


“Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.”
Psalms 27:7 (KJV)

How to deal with BIBLE?
1.) read it from 1st page (1.testament) to the last page (2. testament) = getting to know the text that`s in the bible,
2.) Start to study the bible, why it is written the way it was and what kind of picture does it actually give us.
3.) While hunger for truth - one receives the COMFORTER - THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO WILL TEACH US AND BRING INTO OUR REMEMBRANCE ALL THING JESUS TOLD US.
4.) congratulations, you now also knowing and understanding the harsh truth like i do. aka the heavenly wisdom.

To all who are parents in this world:
Proverbs 22:6 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Be tolerant - be tolerant - they all say. Be tolerant to which point?
- People getting their lives taken (murdered)- oh be tolerant, (do nothing - see nothing - hear nothing)
- People losing their homes - oh be tolerant, (do nothing - see nothing - hear nothing)
- People are mentally ill - oh be tolerant, (do nothing - see nothing - hear nothing)
-People .......................................


Should i keep going or is my point clear ?
Let me ask again:Be tolerant - be tolerant - they all say. Be tolerant to which point?
Or let me ask that way: ARE WE TOLERANT OR JUST STUPID (WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE)?
Hosea 4:6 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Many perish because just being clueless.
