Counterparts - Optimist lyrics
[Counterparts - Optimist lyrics]
I never asked for anyone to listen
And I never asked for anyone to
Take my words to heart
I’ve let myself become a target based
On nothing more than expression
I will not lie to others
And I won’t lie to myself
If you’re searching for safety you
Can find it somewhere else and I won’t mind
I’ve never seen myself as optimistic
So this should come as no surprise
No one feels good forever not even me
But this doesn’t give us an excuse
To become useless like the rest
We will turn our hatred into
Something to be proud of
We will make life worth living
And I never asked for anyone to
Take my words to heart
I’ve let myself become a target based
On nothing more than expression
I will not lie to others
And I won’t lie to myself
If you’re searching for safety you
Can find it somewhere else and I won’t mind
I’ve never seen myself as optimistic
So this should come as no surprise
No one feels good forever not even me
But this doesn’t give us an excuse
To become useless like the rest
We will turn our hatred into
Something to be proud of
We will make life worth living
