Forever the Optimist
Eternal Optimism: Choosing Fulfillment Over PermanenceLyrics
I'm very sorry
I express regret and remorse
That I never got through to you
I failed to effectively communicate with you
All the things I promised
I made promises to you
All the lies that wouldn't do
I told lies that were not acceptable
I had a vision
I had a vision or goal
That I was gonna realize
I believed I would achieve that vision
But I made a decision
I made a choice
When things just wasn't right
I made this choice when things were not going well
I never want to be too good at anything
I avoid becoming too proficient at anything
'Cause that would mean the risk of something permanent
Becoming too good carries the risk of permanence
I choose satisfaction over success
I prioritize satisfaction over traditional success
I'm forever the optimist
I maintain a perpetual optimistic outlook
You can call me a fool
You can label me as foolish
Naive or even dumb
Perceived as naive or unintelligent
I will happily play that part
I am willing to play that role if it means avoiding confrontation
If it means I don't have to run
I'd rather face challenges than run away
But I'll get up and leave
I am prepared to leave before things become too difficult
Before it all gets too dark
I won't endure darkness or negativity
I'll stay forever
I commit to staying forever
As long as there's a spark
As long as there is a glimmer of hope or positivity
I never want to be too good at anything
I avoid becoming too proficient at anything (repeated)
'Cause that would mean the risk of something permanent
Becoming too good carries the risk of permanence (repeated)
I choose satisfaction over success
I prioritize satisfaction over traditional success (repeated)
I'm forever the optimist
I maintain a perpetual optimistic outlook (repeated)
I never want to be too good at anything
I avoid becoming too proficient at anything (repeated)
'Cause that would mean the risk of something permanent
Becoming too good carries the risk of permanence (repeated)
I choose satisfaction over success
I prioritize satisfaction over traditional success (repeated)
I'm forever the optimist
I maintain a perpetual optimistic outlook (repeated)
