Lyrics Chris Crocker – Romantic Cynic

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 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
