Hopelessly Devoted To You
Taylor Swift Lyrics


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 gettin' over you
Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around
and wait for you
But baby can't you see, there's nothin' 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 not in 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 not in my head,
hopelessly devoted to you



Hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you

My eyes are not the first to cry

Just no getting over you

You know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you

Since you pushed my love aside

My heart is saying don't let go

But now there's no way to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
