Chris Crocker - Romantic Cynic lyrics

There's a lot of love in illusion There's a lot to lose when proving Your worth to someone Who only sees your face And when you start to trust that feeling Just make sure that it's real 'Cause sometimes feelings are just feelings And I don't mean to seem like a cynic, yeah And I don't mean to seem so jaded But they called me a hopeless romantic I said I'm just taking chances On love and loss But boy what it cost And back when I was a romantic Back when I was taking chances No one could tell me anything But then I woke from my dream And I started to see Not everyone dreams the same as me There's a lot of us in confusion We think giving up is losing Your hurt is hard Ya say it keeps ya safe And when your heart can touch the ceiling Just make sure that it's real 'Cause sometimes ceilings can cave in And I don't mean to seem like a cynic, yeah And I don't mean to seem so jaded But they called me a hopeless romantic I said I'm just taking chances On love and loss But boy what it cost And back when I was a romantic Back when I was taking chances No one could tell me anything But then I woke from my dream And I started to see Not everyone dreams the same as me
