For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic

For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic - Age Of Rock

Just talk yourself up and tear yourself down

You've hit your one wall now find a way around

Well what's the problem You got a lot of nerve

So what did you think I would say

No you can't run away no you can't run away

So what did you think I would say

No you can't run away no you can't run away

You wouldn't

I never wanted to say this

You never wanted to stay

I put my faith in you so much faith

And then you just threw it away

You threw it away

I'm not so naive my sorry eyes can see

The way you fight shy of almost everything

Well if you give up you'll get what you deserve

So what did you think I would say

No you can't run away no you can't run away

So what did you think I would say

No you can't run away no you can't run away

You wouldn't

I never wanted to say this

You never wanted to stay

I put my faith in you so much faith

And then you just threw it away

You threw it away

You were finished long before

We had even seen the start

Why don't you stand up Be a man about it

Fight with your bare hands about it now

I never wanted to say this (say this)

You never wanted to stay well did you

I put my faith in you so much faith

And then you just threw it away

I never wanted to say this

You never wanted to stay

I put my faith in you so much faith

And then you just threw it away
