Optimistic from Roots by John Aaron Castillanes

Optimistic
Verse 1
There’s a part of me
That I left behind
In some locker I forgot the combo for
There’s a part of me
That wants to stick around 

But honestly my patience is running short

Chorus
I know that
It might be delusion
So you’re not
The first to know
But I don’t have
Any reason
To walk away
So I’m not letting go

Verse 2
There’s a part of me
That wants to run and hide
To put this childish dream to a stop 

But there’s another piece
Just calling out my name
Telling me to just give it a shot

Chorus
I know that
It might be delusion
So you’re not
The first to know
But I don’t have
Any reason
To walk away
So I’m not letting go

Bridge
Do you see
That it means so much to me
And I know you only want what’s best
And I can see
The pitfalls in the dream
And I’m nowhere close to it yet

I can’t predict the future
I can only let it pass
Maybe living everyday
In an optimistic way
Might leave something that lasts

Chorus
I know that
It might be delusion
So you’re not
The first to know
But I don’t have
Any reason
To walk away
So I’m not letting go
