Experimenting with a different kind of music :) Thanks for listening!

lyrics

i have romanticized
every little thing that you've said
to me
i didn't mean it
it just happens when you have
an overactive imagination

i see you in my dreams
and it's so vivid
that i swear it seems
like it really happened
and i'm shocked
when you don't sweep me off my feet
in the morning

oh i just want someone to hold my hand
and tell me i'm pretty and i'm sweet and i'm kind
but i don't expect you to understand
i'm just saying what's on my mind
and i've been told it's hard for people like me
to find someone who'll love me unconditionally
but there must be someone out there

i keep asking why,
why'd it have to be me,
the romantic?
i'm sorry, i just like you
and your eyes are telling me
it goes both ways

i'm not asking much,
though i already know that
i am loved
it's hard to believe i'm anything
when you don't say i am

cause i just want someone to hold my hand
and tell me i'm pretty and i'm sweet and i'm kind
but i don't expect you to understand
i'm just saying what's on my mind
and i've been told it's hard for people like me
to find someone who'll love me unconditionally
but there must be someone out there

i am too deeply obsessed with having the perfect love
with roses, and candles, and starlight, and you
but will it ever be enough? no

i am too deeply obsessed with having the perfect love
with roses, and candles, and starlight, and you
but it'll never be enough
it's never enough

i just want someone to hold my hand (i just want)
and tell me i'm pretty and i'm sweet and i'm kind
but i don't expect you to understand (hold my hand)
i'm just saying what's on my mind
and i've been told it's hard for people like me (i know it's hard to love me)
to find someone who'll love me unconditionally (but try)
but there must be someone out there
oh there must be someone out there
