I was an optimist once 

I scoured the streets to find tree lined parking spots 

Until and officer stopped 

We argued a bit and then I finally understood 



She said, ‘no matter what you say, even if you do, I don't really care, 

I'm not here to kill anybody's mood. No matter what you say, even if you do 

I don't really care, I'm a lot like you everybody's rude.' 

But now I am a criminal to be charged 

With a heart that's far too large 

To give to just anyone (to just anyone) 

What a messed up world this is 

‘Cause you were an officers and I was a gentleman 

And we played our parts so well 

If there was a hurricane 

We were the aftermath 

And I'll leave you with this love 



Now all I did was bitch and moan 

‘Cause nothings ever good enough for this buttercup 

And when I sleep the sleep alone 

I blame myself and again I'm never wrong 



She said, ‘no matter what you say, even if you do, I don't really care,
