lyrics

What ever happened to the optimist in you?
Broke down shattered and now its gone
You've been in bed for weeks, clinging to your sheets
These days are getting harder to face

Where did purpose go?
You're hanging out windows
Come back inside because it's getting cold
You never wanted this, you think you won't be missed
When an empty casing is found next to you

Don't let go when the walls are caving in
Just reach out it will get better
Don't let go when you're feeling dead inside
This is not your time

You've gotta take control
Step up and play your role
Living at the mercy of your vices
You used to be my friend
Now you're just pretend
Don't be alone with your thoughts now

You've gotta get back, your life back on track
Mental outlook isn't where it used to be
Negativity and inconsistency
There are better ways to live your life

Don't let go when the walls are caving in
Just reach out it will get better
Don't let go when you're feeling dead inside
This is not your time
