Death of a Romantic (feat. Mỹ Tâm)

Nineteen and your
Feet hit the concrete
Starry eyed you can
Still hear your heart beat
And everything is just perfect
You tell yourself it's all worth it
First love's always the one
That you write home about
Two cars white picket fence
You've got it figured out
It's all solid beneath your feet
Too high to see what's underneath

I know I know
Know you got it figured out
You don't you don't
Don't see what happens now
It all comes crashing down
Like glass into the ground
The lights go out
And nobody's around

Oh it's not a tragedy
When we're young at heart
We'll take anything
Oh no it's not a tragedy
A hopeless romantic
Died in front of me

My mind is full but my chest is empty
Keep clinging to a life that left me
And don't you dare regret this
After all it was perfect
Dedicated to look fine and steady
Smear a straight face on
And get ready
Feels like a sin to be romantic
Now I'd die to have it

I know I know
Know you got it figured out
You don't you don't
Don't see what happens now
It all comes crashing down
Like glass into the ground
The lights go out
And nobody's around

Oh it's not a tragedy
When we're young at heart
We'll take anything
Oh no it's not a tragedy
A hopeless romantic
Died in front of me

That never loses its bloom
That never loses its bloom
That never sheds its beauty
Warm as gold
I deemed it perfect
I deemed it perfect
I deemed it perfect
Paint me a picture of a rose
That never loses its bloom
That never sheds its beauty
This paper love
This paper love
Warm as gold
Sweet as a kiss
Soft as sleep
I deemed it perfect
I deemed it perfect
Even though I'm not a rose
I deemed it perfect
You looked at me as if I was
You looked at me as if I was
You looked at me as if I was
Even though I'm not a rose
You looked at me as if I was
As if I was
This paper love
I deemed it perfect
I deemed it
Perfect
