lyrics

I should kick myself for being such an optimist
Like a bug into a web, I fly right into it

It’s my character to be positive
And although it’s fucking obvious
I never learn

But the truth is written on the walls tonight
And I don’t know what it means
Forget the past an open mind
Optimist

The proof is pounding on the doors outside
But it’s falling on deaf ears
Forget the past an open mind
Optimist

If I pinch myself maybe i’ll snap out of it
Like the trust of a child, I forgive and forget

It’s my character to be positive
And although it’s fucking obvious
I never learn

It’s seldom people change
As time ticks by, so much of the same

It’s my character to be positive
Although the script is obvious
I’ll never learn
