Charlie Puth
King Of Optimism
Lyrics from Snippet
[Verse 1]
You can all say I'm crazy, say I'm out my mind
But you've never been down this bad (Bad)
I know you'd be going through the same thing as I am
If you ever had what I had (I had)
[Pre-Chorus]
I got these tickets to the fate
Can't give them away
'Cause what if you still wanna go (Wanna go)
I keep your shampoo in my shower
And wait every hour
For you to walk through my door (Through my door)
[Chorus]
I try to talk to myself into believin' that
It's over, but I never listen
There's a part of me who thinks you're coming back
'Cause I'm the king of optimism
And I still ain't let nobody in these sheets
'Cause you're the one that I'm thinkin' of
Baby, I just can't accept reality
'Cause I'm the king of optimism, yeah
[Verse 2]
I still play your old voicemails, just to hear your laugh
Pretend you just called me back (Back)
I rewrite our story in my head every night
Like we never even crashed (Crashed)
[Pre-Chorus]
You said you liked the way I made you laugh
But he’s been doing that for years and years past
I see your reflection in strangers
And stand there for ages
Like maybe you’re right where I’m at (Where I’m at)
[Chorus]
I try to talk myself into believin’ that
It’s over, but I never listen
There’s a part of me who thinks you’re coming back
‘Cause I’m the king of optimism
And I still ain’t let nobody in these sheets
‘Cause you’re the one that I’m thinkin’ of
Baby, I just can’t accept reality
‘Cause I’m the king of optimism, yeah
[Bridge]
Every “what if” is a movie in my mind
Every almost is a scene we left behind
But I keep the lights on, keep the door unlocked
Just in case you change your mind
[Chorus]
I try to talk myself into believin’ that
It’s over, but I never listen
There’s a part of me who thinks you’re coming back
‘Cause I’m the king of optimism
And I still ain’t let nobody in these sheets
‘Cause you’re the one that I’m thinkin’ of
Baby, I just can’t accept reality
Guess I never learned how to give up
