[Lyric] Promises (The Optimist)

You were supposed to be there
And you vanished in thin air
Living with doubts
You said you'd be there
I've left so much behind to be good enough for you
When I should've known at the beginning (it was ever meant to be)
Now I've made a promise to myself to be a better man
I won't let these past emotions bring me down
I made a promise to not bring anyone else down around me
I won't let you bring me down

I'm sorry I have to burn this book of memories
(The sight of something that will never be)
I wish I was someone else instead of myself
So I wouldn't feel all of this pain

Lie to my face
Spit in my face
Dishonor everything that was
I did my best, and you left like the rest
You disregarded every feeling that there ever was
But if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be who I am today
Wasn't worth it and I'm not worthless
I'm going back to the start now I'm ready to go again
Wasn't worth it and I'm not worthless
I'm going back to the start and I'm ready to go again

I'm not worthless

Locked in my own head, I wanted to be dead
All will be well, eventually
Locked in my own head, I wanted to be dead
These dark thoughts had their grip on me
In the end I'll see
This tragedy will not be the end of me
In the end I'll see
This tragedy will set me free
