Melt - Fake Romantic

{Verse 1}
What's up with people playing it so cool these days?
I have my heart in 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

{Chorus}
Fake romantic
You twirl me on the subway
But keep me at an arms 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 it's disguises
Oh you need to let it go
Wasn't asking for a promise
I just wanted to be loved!

{Verse 2}
You're holding out for somеthing written in the stars
You kiss by the book bеcause you wanna be good
You wanna play the part
It doesn't bother me to stumble round in the dark
You think you're walking the line but you're clumsy
You think you protect me by keeping you from me

{Chorus}
Fake romantic
You twirl me on the subway
But keep me at an arms 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 it's disguises
Oh you need to let it go
Wasn't asking for a promise
I just wanted to be loved!

Hey, Oh

{Bridge}
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-

{Chorus}
Romantic
You twirl me on the subway
But keep me at an arms 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 wanna make a promise
Didn't want yeah
I just wanted to be loved!
Loved!
I just wanted to be loved!
