For A Pessimist, I’m Pretty Optimistic (Live from Chicago)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Just talk yourself up and tear yourself down You've–one wall, now find a way around Well, what's the problem? You got a lot of nerve [Pre-Chorus: Hayley Williams & Crowd] So what did you think I would say? You can't run away You can't run away So what did you think I would say? You can't run away You can't run away, you wouldn't [Chorus: Hayley Williams, Hayley Williams & Josh Farro] 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 How's that feel, Illinois!? You threw it away [Verse 2] No, I'm not so naive 'cause my sorry eyes can see The way you fight shy off almost everything Well, if you give up you'll get what you deserve [Pre-Chorus: Hayley Williams & Crowd] So what did you think I would say? You can't run away You can't run away So what did you think I would say? You can't run away No, you can't run away You wouldn't [Chorus: Hayley Williams, Hayley Williams & Josh Farro] 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] No, 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, now) [Spoken] Alright, Chicago! [Chorus: Hayley Williams, Hayley Williams & Josh Farro] I never wanted to 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, oh, no I put my faith in you, so much faith And then you just threw it away [Crowd Chant] Paramore! Paramore! Paramore! Paramore! Paramore! Paramore! Paramore! Paramore! Paramore! Paramore! Paramore! Paramore! Paramore! Paramore! Paramore!
