The Optimist
Cōrt Lyrics

sky so blue it seems too good to be true
The clear, beautiful sky gives the impression of perfection, but I can't help but worry that something might go wrong.

but i can't stop thinking bout the ways this might end up all wrong
Despite trying to maintain optimism, my mind is constantly consumed with thoughts of potential negative outcomes.

i like to say i'm optimistic, cos i have to be
I often tell myself that I am optimistic because it is necessary to stay positive.

but every once in a while my heart likes to fall asleep
Occasionally, my heart becomes weary and loses its hopeful spirit.

sorry if this gets a bit confusing
Apologies if my message becomes convoluted.

i'm a little all over the place right now but its chill, cos i'm having fun
I may be feeling scattered at the moment, but I find solace in the enjoyment of the present moment.

'why won't you miss me' well of course you knew i would
I wonder why you don't express missing me, but deep down, I know you are aware of my longing.

and i do, more than anyone right now, oh
Indeed, I miss you incredibly, perhaps more than anyone else does currently.

so now i'm here tryna make this dream come true
Therefore, I find myself striving to make our shared dream a reality.

i like to say i know my fate, we'll have to wait and see
I often claim to have knowledge of my destiny, but the truth is we must wait and discover what it truly holds.

a storm is waiting for me, but there's a rainbow on the other side
There may be hardships ahead, but I believe that there is hope and beauty to be found beyond them.

i think i'll make it through it, cos i was born to take the stride
I have confidence that I will overcome these challenges because I possess the resilience and strength to endure.

todays a different vibe, yeah
Today carries a distinct feeling or atmosphere, yes.

the sun ain't in the sky
The sun is absent from above us.

something has happened that makes me wanna cry
An event or circumstance has occurred that stirs up strong emotions within me, prompting tears.

the fact that i can't make you happy is what's really killing me
The realization that I am unable to bring you happiness is deeply distressing and weighs heavily on my heart.

you kept me going, but now its all just me
You were my motivation and support, but now I must rely solely on myself.

you got me singing like
You have evoked within me a desire to express myself through song.

oh, i don't know what you're tryna do to me
Oh, I'm uncertain of the intentions behind your actions and their effects on me.

but i can't blame you, you are oh so sweet
However, I cannot hold you responsible, as you are incredibly kind and pleasant.

i hate to think of us as nothing more than friends
I dislike the idea of our relationship being limited to mere friendship.

but i guess that might just be the case, and you'd be quite hard to replace
However, I suppose that might be the reality, and finding someone else like you would be a challenging task.

the day i met you i knew you were far from ordinary
Ever since the day we met, I recognized that you were extraordinary and stood apart from the rest.

it felt like i had known you before
There was a sense of familiarity and connection as if we had already crossed paths in some way.

i miss you and the days we'd ponder silly things,
I long for the moments we spent together, contemplating trivial and lighthearted topics.

but the time went by too fast and now i have no one to hear my strings
Unfortunately, time slipped away too quickly, and now I find myself without anyone to listen to me express my heartfelt emotions.

i hate to come off as a narcissistic guy
I dislike the impression that I might be self-centered or overly focused on myself.

its just that you lit up the world for me and now you don't even reply
It's simply because you brought immense joy and brightness into my life, and now you no longer respond or contact me.

i know he's probably better for you than me
I understand that he may be a more suitable partner for you than I am.

please don't take offense to that, it's how i feel and you deserve to be happy
I hope you don't feel hurt by this admission; it's simply my genuine sentiment, and above all, I want you to find happiness.
