[Verse 1] It’s not the roses left at my door Or the dinner plans they write songs for It’s the way you laugh when stumble and fall The way you kiss me and i lose control It’s sharing your umbrella in a summer storm Pulling me close so i won’t feel cold Not fireworks, but your arms keep me warm Moments like these that feel like gold [Chorus] ‘Cause I’m hopelessly romantic But not in the way you think It’s your shoulder as I’m drifting Not champagne in my drink Hold my hand when I’m shaking Don’t let go when I cry Just look at me like I’m magic When I stumble, not ask why Yeah, I’m hopeless, hopelessly romantic In all the little ways you love me without trying [Verse 2] It’s not the grand words or perfect rhyme It’s the way you show up every time It’s dancing slow under the kitchen light It’s the goodnight and the “you’ll be alright” With my ups and downs take me as i am I am hopelessly romantic, please understand That if you want to keep me yours forever i’ll surrender my heart and soul to be together [Chorus] ‘Cause I’m hopelessly romantic But not in the storybook kind It’s your fingers lacing with mine When I’m scared and trying to hide Wipe my tears when I’m breaking Laugh with me when I fall Just smile like I’m your whole world Even when I feel small Yeah, I’m hopeless, hopelessly romantic In the way your love feels real and automatic [Bridge] It’s the way you remember the things I forget Like how I take my coffee or my quiet regrets It’s not diamonds or sunsets in Rome It’s the way you make anywhere feel like home [Final Chorus] Yeah, I’m hopelessly romantic In the seconds we almost miss Like the pause before you kiss me Or the calm in your quiet “yes” It’s not chocolates or flowers It’s the soul in your embrace So love me in those moments Where the world slows down its pace I’m hopeless, hopelessly romantic In the spaces between every heartbeat You’re the magic [Outro] So if you ever wonder what I really need Just be there Just be you And just love me quietly ⸻
