The Optimist

Take what you need from me

If begging's what you want then I am happy to please

If there's no room for excuses you'll make it

And when nothing grows here anymore

I'll say I did it all for you

I did it all for you

Forever easy to replace

Broken things won't do

I hope this finds you well

But you never find me again

You found what's left of me and you helped yourself

To whatever's left,

Living in my head

Living in my head

And I lost my mind trying to get you out of it

Our forever ends

I never wanted to be anyone's anyway

Am I good enough to be seen

Did I do all of the wrong things correctly?

Did I cross my eyes and dot my t's?

I'm just an expensive commodity

You found what's left of me and you helped yourself

To whatever's left,

Living in my head

Living in my head

And I lost my mind trying to get you out of it

Our forever ends

I never wanted to be anyones anyway

I hope this finds you well

Am I the optimist that you thought I would be

The splash of grey that kept your colors at bay

The tragedy always heading your way

The last breath that you ever take

Lie if you know what's good for you

Run like it comes natural to you

Maybe the best isn't what I could be

You've been reminding me lately

You found what's left of me and you helped yourself

To whatever's left,

Living in my head

Living in my head

And I lost my mind trying to get you out of it

Our forever ends

I never wanted to be anyone's anyway
