Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know
There's just no getting over you

You know, I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby, can't you see there's nothing else for me to do

I'm hopelessly devoted to you

But now, there's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you

My head is saying, fool forget him
My heart is saying, don't let go
Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you

But now, there's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you

Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you

Guess mine is not the first heart broken
I'm not alone in having my heart broken

My eyes are not the first to cry
Many before me have cried over a lost love

I'm not the first to know
I'm not surprised to know that it's over

There's just no getting over you
I can't seem to move on from you

You know, I'm just a fool who's willing
I admit that I'm foolishly devoted to you
