Hopeless

If you want to love someone like me
then, baby, youve got to make me see that it aint hopeless
No, it aint hopeless for me to believe

How come the scale is always tipped?
What love comes with conditions like this?
Enough, too tired to say a word
Because I know what comes after
Like the wind you change but you come right back
With more up your sleeve and your pride intact
You say that youll try but thats only a way
To say later on that you never did say
That you would
Because you wont
Oh you could,
But darling, you dont

If you want to love someone like me
then, baby, youve got to make me see that it aint hopeless
No, it aint hopeless for me to believe

Well now the worst is over, yet
our love exists in retrospect
Forget the girl who used to shine
Lord knows Ive dulled these eyes of mine
Because I fear being trapped more than being alone
So Ive wandered this life a lost soul stepping stone
Digging down deep, and pulling it out
Stretching so thin that everyone doubts
They can see
the true me
Its a sea
of longing

If you want to love someone like me
then, baby, youve got to make me see that it aint hopeless
No, it aint hopeless for me to believe
