The Optimist Lyrics

Since the womb you leave others

Dead and broken

How might you reconcile that?

But it's a fact I still have love for you

And it's true that lasts forever

Forced to sit and play optimist

I try to help, it only makes it worse

Forced to sit and be positive

Dead end streak of restless night

Dark and anxious

How quickly would you alter that?

Though it's a fact that scars don't go away

In the day, they glow at nighttime

Forced to sit and play optimist

(I don't wanna watch you do this)

I try to help, it only makes it worse

(I don't wanna watch you do this)

Forced to sit and be positive

(I don't wanna watch you do this)

Watching you spiral and die

A wound that's hurting

How could you do this yourself?

I try to help, but it's to no avail.

Soul is frail, I see the breakage

Forced to sit and play optimist

(I don't wanna watch you do this)

I try to help, it only makes it worse

(I don't wanna watch you do this)

Forced to sit and be positive

(I don't wanna watch you do this)
