[Verse 1]
Spend my time worrying of broken promises
Focused on the smell of all the burnt out cigarettes
My thoughts play on repeat
Only comfort that I keep
'Cause in a moment I will be
Something you will forget

[Chorus]
Hopeless, hopelessly romantic
You, you got me stranded
Ooh, I'm blue, blue, blue

[Verse 2]
Now tell me was I ever something that you could regret
I know I wasn't the one for you
But at least I tried my best
Surrounded by questions like, "Why'd you two part ways?"
But if my memory’s right
You're the one that left

[Chorus]
I'll be hopeless hopelessly romantic
You, you got me stranded
Ooh, I'm blue, blue, blue

[Bridge]
Used to lift me higher
But I guess our time's expired
I'm giving you the match
Set our love on fire

[Chorus]
Hopeless hopelessly romantic
You, you got me stranded
Ooh, I'm blue, blue, blue

[Verse 2 (Reprise)]
Now tell me was I ever something that you could regret
I know I wasn't the one for you
But at least I tried my best
Surrounded by questions like, "Why'd you two part ways?"
But if my memory’s right
You're the one that left

[Chorus]
I'll be hopeless hopelessly romantic
You, you got me stranded
Ooh, I'm blue, blue, blue
Ooh yeah, I'm blue, blue, blue, oh
Yeah, I'm blue, blue, blue

Born on February 11, 1998, Khalid (Full Khalid Donnel Robinson) became a prominent R&B artist from El Paso, Texas, after Kylie Jenner featured his 2016 hit “Location” on her Snapchat. Khalid’s music seemingly boosted into the mainstream, he signed to RCA Records only months after graduating high school, and he released his debut album, American Teen on March 3, 2017. The album included the two successful singles, the aforementioned “Location,” “Young Dumb & Broke,” and another single “Saved.”

On September 14, 2018, Khalid released his next project, an EP titled Suncity, in relation to El Paso’s nickname. Khalid would follow this up with his second studio album, Free Spirit, which was released on April 5, 2019.
