The Pessimist In Me

from Strangers EP by Behind The Façade

/

lyrics

[Verse]
The core is breaking apart
This tower’s falling to pieces
My mind’s just a mess
Oh, my stomach’s uneasy
I love you, you love me too
But not for too long, this’ll go all wrong soon
Maybe it’s my fault
That’s it, I guess I’m too far gone

[Chorus]
I’m an optimist fending to be
But the pessimist in me is all that I can see
A stranger sees goodness in me
But the people I love don’t, who do I believe?
Everyone let’s me down (Everyone let’s me down!)

[Verse]
I feel passion, I feel pain
It’s all the same, it’s all the same
I see desire
No, I see a fire
Burning at all that I am
We can just start fresh
But thoughts of the past will always dance in their heads
They’ll always dance in our heads
Don’t you see?
It’s too late to be happy
So we’ll just be what we can be

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
This should be easy
We shouldn’t be fighting
Don’t you know it’s us against the world?
Well I was on your side
Every single time
But for you to me, it’s just a flip of a dime
You’ll always let me down (You’ll always let me down!)
Everyone let’s me down (Everyone let’s me down!)

Now I’m a pessimist sending
A message to my friends
That everything good ends
That everything good ends [x2]

[Chorus]
