Stubborn Optimism

You were right

When you embraced my proximity to your truth

You were right

When you felt the vulnerability in you

It's in you

It's in you

And will you be alone behind this white picket fence

Waiting forever?

This white picket fence is topped with barbed wire

And all of the bridges you constructed

Appear to be on fire

Stubborn optimism will guide you through

Stubborn optimism will guide you through

Stubborn optimism leads me to believe

Every morning, afternoon, and evening

You'll stumble upon a valuable epiphany

That all your persistent gold-digging

That leads to nothing fulfilling

Stubborn optimism will guide you through

Stubborn optimism will guide you through

Those self-inflicted visions

Violent self-sabotages

Stubborn optimism leads me to believe

Stubborn optimism will guide you through

Stubborn optimism will guide you through

Never let you, never let you, never let you

Never let you, never let you, never let you

Never let you, never let you, never let you

Those self-inflicted visions

Violent self-sabotages
