Optimistic To A Fault

Any second

I would sing you to sleep

With kind words in mind

and hearts on the sleeve

Leave nothing to chance

and everything behind

Second chances pave the way

to broken hearts

This is the moment

where I tell you

that I'm falling apart

And I'm stuck in reverse

between the same damn lies

Oh no, there I go,

optimistic to a fault

Go home, you can never go again

When anything at all

is anything but you

I want nothing, my dear

This always ends in tears

You were my everything in all

And now my everywhere but here

This always ends in tears

Taking chances pave the wasy

to broken hearts

This is the moment

where I tell you

that I'm falling apart

And I'm stuck in reverse

between the same damn lies

We're tossing pennies,

making wishes to make it right

Another lonely day,

another lonely night

And I would give anything

if you would

only pick up the phone

Oh no, there I go,

optimistic to a fault

Go home,

you can never go again

When anything at all

is anything but you

I want nothing, my dear

This always ends in tears

You were my everything in all

And now my everywhere but here

This always ends in tears
