HOPEFUL

Something tells me I read into it too much Only to be let down later Well, maybe I'm right this time Or maybe I'm just hopeful Lonely, hopeful, stupid, but never hateful Despite all the disappointments I've been through I am resilient today Because everything's OK Everything's better than it was yesterday Over the course of my life Unfortunate things have held me back This is the time to break away Obstructions in my way Fall off to the side Letting me free I will turn it all around Nothing can stop me now Everything is going my way I am hopeful again Falling back to reality I'm trapped again Stuck in this dirty cycle again And I can't find my way out I am trapped again Despite all the illusions of freedom That run through my mind How can I remain hopeful And undeterred by the setbacks There has to be a reason I am eternally optimistic My pessimism drifts away I will not miss it So let me back in your life So let me back in your heart You mean so much to me Oh, yes, I don't want to see you go Unable to live without you
