Optimist by Gully Boys

I try not to assume
Close my eyes then let love lead
I thought better of you
It was the optimist in me

I refuse to believe
Fault myself for not trusting you
Talk away the unease
Just like we both know how to do

PRECHORUS

Things wouldn’t be so hard
If you told me from the start

CHORUS

I coulda let it go
Don’t fuck me over again
You shoulda let me know
If you were ever a friend

I coulda let it go
Don’t fuck me over again
You shoulda let me know
If you were ever a friend

I try not to hold on
Take a breath and then let love lead
Now I know the people who got me
It’s just the optimist in me

PRECHORUS

Things wouldn’t be so hard
If you told me from the start

CHORUS

I coulda let it go
Don’t fuck me over again
You shoulda let me know
If you were ever a friend

Look at me in the eye (woah)
Tell me I’m not right (ooh-woah)

CHORUS

I coulda let it go
But something makes me think
You started letting me go
Instead of letting me see

I coulda let it go
Don’t fuck me over again
You shoulda let me know
If you were ever a friend

So I let it go
Can’t fuck me over again
You really let me know
That you were never my friend

Look at me in the eye (woah)
Tell me I’m not right (ooh-woah)
