I was always a romantic
It always seemed worth it
Kept it at the center of my game
Even if I didn't take your name
What other reason to go moving?
What other reasoning to go
Leaving my roots
And taking a chance?
How I wrapped myself around you
How I gave a decade to you
How I cradled all your silent doubt
And learned to swallow when I wanted to shout
Cause I was always a romantic
I really thought that you were worth it
Thought you'd keep me center of your game
And be tough enough to face your shame
I guess I wasn't seeing clearly
Though the signs were all around me
I could fill a song with let downs
All the ways I wish I held my ground
But I was always a romantic
I always thought that I was worth it
Really gave it all I never held back
What a brutal thing to wreck that
