Freaking out is what I do best

Because first dates are what I'm worst at

And I don't know, if we're gonna even make it past the first round

You start touching your hair, I think it's a good sign

But you'd rather be somewhere else tonight

Since I'm not good at reading signals

From girls who say nothing at all


A helpless romantic in a hook-up world

(It makes me ashamed)

(Is anybody out there?)


I don't want to go home alone tonight

When everyone is trying to find love in life

Guess I'm just learning how not to date


You keep telling me you had a really good timе

But I know I won't see you past tonight

Love doesn't play out like in thе movies

And I'm sick and tired of catching feelings


Rolling high on my charisma

And scoring lower on my wisdom

Honestly, I'd rather just hang out with my friends tonight

She was staring at her phone, so I just left her there

It's pretty obvious she doesn't care

Can't keep 'conversation for more than a minute

Not looking for anyone not into commitment

A helpless romantic in a hook-up world

(It makes me ashamed)

(Is anybody out there?)


I don't want to go home alone tonight

When everyone is trying to find love in life

Guess I'm just learning how not to date


You keep telling me you had a really good time

But I know I won't see you past tonight

Love doesn't play out like in the movies

And I'm sick and tired of catching feelings


The ones I hate the most, are ones that lead me on

If you're not interested than stop wasting all of my time

I've spent too much on you, I think it's time we're through

I'd rather die alone then end up with somebody (just like you)


A helpless romantic in a hook-up world

(It makes me ashamed)

(Is anybody out there?)

This is a reference to Dungeons & Dragons, or similar table top games. I think what being said in this line is that the protagonist of the song is a smooth talker, but not very smart about who exactly they choose to go out on dates with.
