Hopeless Romantic

I'd choose to lose my eyes before I ever lost my ear,

so that i'd better recognize the way the air feels when you're near

and I'd lose blood for your laughter- a song I'd die to hear-

I'd lose my mindto keep my nerve so that I'd never have to fear

the way I want to love you

I understand now why the moon chose mortality

when she could've kept her lover forever, sound asleep

though I'd put flowers in your hair and you'd smile while you'd dream

forever would be nothing if I could hear you speak

to me so consciously

Some of us were made to be obsessed

so when you see me babe don't be upset (I'm in the)

doorway I'm in yur way, in your head

when you leave me love you won't forget

the way I want to love you

There are a thousand ways to suffocate, and I wasn't made to live

So let me die to make make you happy, my life is all I care to give

One day you'll find somebody golden, and box me in the attic

I'll rot and mold and tarnish, while you giggle in emphatic

joy- the way I could not love you

I'm a hopeless romantic, the worst kind- I fear it's true

Don't try to love me back my dear, you'll leave your love bruised

You've got the aura of the sun, the only gold I'd worship

So Please just eave me in the attic, in the shadows, in y morbid

way I wish to love you
