For a Pessimist, I’m Pretty Optimistic

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Just talk yourself up and tear yourself down You've hit your one wall, now find a way around Well, what's the problem? You got a lot of nerve [Pre-Chorus] So what did you think I would say? No, you can't run away No, you can't run away So what did you think I would say? No, you can't run away No, you can't run away You wouldn't [Chorus] I never wanted to say this You never wanted to stay I put my faith in you, so much faith And then you just threw it away You threw it away [Verse 2] I'm not so naive, my sorry eyes can see The way you fight shy of almost everything Well, if you give up, you'll get what you deserve [Pre-Chorus] So what did you think I would say? No, you can't run away No, you can't run away So what did you think I would say? No, you can't run away No, you can't run away You wouldn't [Chorus] I never wanted to say this You never wanted to stay I put my faith in you, so much faith And then you just threw it away You threw it away [Bridge] You were finished long before We had even seen the start Why don't you stand up? Be a man about it Fight with your bare hands about it now [Chorus] I never wanted to say this (Say this) You never wanted to stay, well, did you? I put my faith in you, so much faith And then you just threw it away I never wanted to say this You never wanted to stay And I put my faith in you, so much faith And then you just threw it away
