Hopeless Romantic
Tink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I like someone, he always messes it up for me
Startin' not to believe in love, 'cause I don't really think we're meant to me
Every nigga I tried to date promised that it'd be different
And every time I took a chance, found out he wasn't genuine
I've been through so much and I don't wanna sound emotional
But every time I fall in love, it's something that always goes wrong
People say that I'm gullible for thinkin' that there's someone for me
Even though I'm hurt inside, I ain't givin' up that easily
You don't know what pain is 'til you done had your heart broke
Someone that can comfort me, that's really all I'm lookin' for
Wanna give my trust away, but I don't wanna feel abandoned
When it comes to love, I'm hopeless romantic, 'cause

Maybe I'm naive (naive), maybe I'm too nice (too nice)
Maybe I just pick the wrong kind of niggas in my life
Tired of being tired, tossin' in my sleep
Maybe it's my fault for wearin' my heart around my sleeve
Maybe I'm naive (naive), maybe I'm too nice (too nice)
Maybe I just pick the wrong kind of niggas in my life
Tired of being tired, tossin' in my sleep
Maybe it's my fault for wearin' my heart around my sleeve

Maybe I'm movin' too fast, I gotta pull it together
Don't wanna hurt anymore, I need somebody that know what he wants
Tired of being disappointed, certain things I'm avoidin'
Hold it in 'cause I want a man, but I gotta make better choices
I take 'em back when they wrong (wrong), I know I'm way too forgivin' (yeah)
I see the flags and I know the truth, but I always go against it
Yeah, I'm still learnin' how to love
I'm a hopeless romantic, 'cause

Maybe I'm naive (naive), maybe I'm too nice (too nice)
Maybe I just pick the wrong kind of niggas in my life
Tired of being tired, tossin' in my sleep
Maybe it's my fault for wearin' my heart around my sleeve
Maybe I'm naive (naive), maybe I'm too nice (too nice)
Maybe I just pick the wrong kind of niggas in my life
Tired of being tired, tossin' in my sleep
Maybe it's my fault for wearin' my heart around my sleeve





When it comes to love, I'm hopeless romantic, 'cause
When it comes to love, I'm hopeless romantic, 'cause
