I'm a realist and an optimist

But I swear to you, I'm not getting over this



Walking tall in a small town

Full of yourself when you're feeling down

And that's all that matters to you

Can't pretend anymore

Talk is cheap, I said that before

But you can still taste it

And that's one more reason why you're never gonna make it



I've had enough of all the talk on how you're saving me

Talk like you're self assured but all you are is history

Speak slow, I want you to know that

I'm a realist and an optimist

But I swear to you, I'm not getting over this



No, no, I'm not getting over this



You've got the right be all that you wanna be

And that's extraordinary

Is it worth the risk? (Can you handle it?)

I can't pretend anymore

You don't wanna leave, you said that before

Oh, but you can still taste it

And that's one more reason why you're never gonna make it



I've had enough of all the talk on how you're saving me

Talk like you're self assured but all you are is history

Speak slow, I want you to know that

I'm a realist and an optimist

But I swear to you, I'm not getting over this



Fall back in line, it's too much to expose

It's your design and that's the way it goes

I think I know my limits, and how to make good decisions

It hits home, so just go



I've had enough of all the talk on how you're saving me

Talk like you're self assured but all you are is history

Speak slow, I want you to know that

I'm a realist and an optimist

And that's one more reason why you're not getting over this

I'm a realist and an optimist

But I swear to you, I'm not getting over this



No, no, I'm not getting over this

No, no, I'm not getting over this
