Fatal Optimist

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] I miss counting the stars And I miss the way you kiss me I miss the way you touch me I miss calling you mine Baby, you know who I am And there's nobody I'd rather dance with in the moonlight I just want to go back [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] I fear the emptiness (Emptiness) will swallow me whole This is my confession [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] I am no hero, and I'm not a saint I can't save the world, and I never asked for this In your eyes, I see the questions I don't have the answers for Arise suspicious minds [Verse 2: Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke, Shane Crump, Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] (I miss counting the stars) You told yourself I was pure, certain that I would save you But if it crosses your mind that I was saving myself Remind yourself that I'm dangerous Maybe I'm not as honest as it seems, a siren dressed in silk Maybe I'm just selling a lie, a villain in disguise [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] I fear the emptiness (Emptiness) will swallow me whole This is my confession [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] I am no hero, and I'm not a saint I can't save the world, and I never asked for this In your eyes, I see the questions I don't have the answers for Arise suspicious minds [Bridge: Melissa Milke] I don't know if I'm praying, I don't know if I'm begging But I have to believe that someone Something out there can hear me I have to know that there is a chance I have to believe that I might escape this hell I fear I've lost myself, and I don't know the way back The way back to what I once was Am I Fatima? Am I Rusalka? Or am I just me? Sweet, innocent Annabel [Refrain: Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke] Star-crossed lovers in strife (Time to move on), embracing on a battlefield (To another night) Giving in to the fight (Time to move on), changing at the speed of light (To another fight) [Outro: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Melissa Milke] I fear the emptiness (Emptiness) will swallow me whole This is my confession
