Our Optimist, The Fool

from Unraveled by Paco Is Desperate!

lyrics

A dream that’s haunting me
Revolving around you
I’m terrified to trust my heart
I know what love can do

I’m well aware that you could wreck my shit
Bring me to my knees
But maybe that’s what attracts me to you
An element of danger
You know I like to take risks
Fueled by an optimist’s endless hope

I’m pulling out my hair
Existing in despair
I can’t accept the truth
Of what my history can prove

I’m well aware that you could wreck my shit
Bring me to my knees
But maybe that’s what attracts me to you
An element of danger
You know I like to take risks
Fueled by an optimist’s endless hope

To you, I am what?
Another boy in your DMs?
Another game that you’re playing?
I guess I’m not that smart
To me, what I see
Is opportunity for attention on demand
To ease a weary heart
It’s the state of love
Hardly state of art
Just come lay me down
We’ll forget this part
Yeah, we’ll fall apart
Yeah, we’ll fall apart

When all is said and done
There’s nowhere left to go
Once you are gone
There’s nothing left
