For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic

Just talk yourself up

And tear yourself down

You built your wooden wall

Now find a way around

Well what's the problem?

You've got a lot of nerve



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



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



I'm not so naive

My sorry eyes can see

The way you fly shy

Of almost everything

Well, if you give up

You'll get what you deserve



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



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



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



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

I put my faith in you, so much faith

And then you just threw it away
