The optimist that died in me

awoke to the pale blue in your eyes

to show me there's a world I gave up long before

I married to the bottle, hit the road, and chose to go it alone.



This world can lose all meaning, burn and break your spirit,

but something about you says it's not too late for me.

If we could all learn to fight our demons, yeah and I've got regrets but still there's

something about you that says it's not too late for me.



So show me, give me half a chance to be for you

the person that I buried deep inside.

For once I'd rather live than die, and sympathize with anyone who

doesn't find the kind of second chance I did.

Too late for me to come clean.
