Fake Romantic

What's up with people playing it so cool these days?
I have my heart on my hand and I give it to somebody every day
You said you didn't wanna break your word
Well, I say it's okay to borrow
Honey we can believe it tonight
And we don't have to keep it tomorrow

(Fake romantic)
You twirl me on the subway but keep me at an arm's length
Won't let me in when push comes to shove
(Fake romantic)
I ask you if you're okay, you laugh it off like I'm so presumptuous
Break your heart free of its disguises
Yeah, you need to let it go
Wasn't asking for a promise, I just wanted to be loved

You're holding out for something written in the stars
You kiss by the book because you wanna be good, you wanna play the part
It doesn't bother me to stumble around in the dark
You think you're walking the line but you're clumsy
You think you protect me
By keeping you from me

(Fake romantic)
You twirl on the subway but keep me at an arm's length
Won't let me in when push comes to shove
(Fake romantic)
I ask you if you're okay, you laugh it off like I'm so presumptuous
Break your heart free of its disguises
Yeah, you need to let it go
Wasn't asking for a promise, I just wanted to be loved

I see it coming, yeah, you're strapping on your boots to run
Without a warning, yeah, I think that it's so overdone
I see it coming, yeah, you're strapping on your boots to run
Think that it's so overdone, yeah, it's so overdone
I see it coming, yeah, you're strapping on your boots to run
Without a warning, yeah, I think that it's so overdone
I see it coming, you're strapping on your boots to run
Think that it's so overdone
Don't tell me I'm the only romantic

You twirl me on the subway
But you keep me at an arm's length
Won't let me in
(Fake romantic)
I ask you if you're okay, you laugh it off like I'm so presumptuous
Break your heart
Wasn't asking for a promise, I just wanted to be loved

(I didn't want to make a promise
Didn't want, yeah
I just wanted to be loved, loved
I just wanted to be loved)
