Lyrics

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)
