Paramore – For a Pessimist, I’m Pretty Optimistic

By 29 avril 2025Paramore

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've got a lot of nerve

So what'd you think I would say?

No you can't run away, you can't run away

So what did you think I would say?

You can't run away, 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'd you think I would say?

No you can't run away, you can't run away

So what did you think I would say?

You can't run away, 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

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
