[Intro]
I'm a realist and an optimist
But I swear to you, I'm not getting over this

[Verse 1]
Walking tall in a small town
Full of yourself when you're feeling down
And that's all that matters to you
Can't pretend anymore
Talk is cheap, I said that before
But you can still taste it
And that's one more reason why you're never gonna make it

[Chorus]
I've had enough of all the talk on how you're saving me
Talk like you're self assured but all you are is history
Speak slow, I want you to know that
I'm a realist and an optimist
But I swear to you, I'm not getting over this
No, no, I'm not getting over this

[Verse 2]
You've got the right be all that you wanna be
And that's extra ordinary
Is it worth the risk?
(Can you handle it?)
I can't pretend anymore
You don't wanna leave, you said that before
Oh, but you can still taste it
And that's one more reason why you're never gonna make it
[Chorus]
I've had enough of all the talk on how you're saving me
Talk like you're self assured but all you are is history
Speak slow, I want you to know that
I'm a realist and an optimist
But I swear to you, I'm not getting over this

[Bridge]
Fall back in line, it's too much to expose
It's your design and that's the way it goes
I think I know my limits, and how to make good decisions
It hits home, so just go

[Chorus]
I've had enough of all the talk on how you're saving me
Talk like you're self assured but all you are is history
Speak slow, I want you to know that
I'm a realist and an optimist
And that's one more reason why you're not getting over this
I'm a realist and an optimist
But I swear to you, I'm not getting over this

[Outro]
No, no, I'm not getting over this
No, no, I'm not getting over this
