Hopeful
V.V.A.A Lyrics

I just want to play the good guy in my own movie
I desire to be seen as the hero in my own life story.

Try to catch your eye but you're looking right through me
I attempt to gain your attention, but you are completely oblivious to my presence.

I don't want to change, feel a little strange
I resist the idea of altering myself, yet I experience a sense of uneasiness.

Everything's ok, at least I think
I convince myself that everything is fine, or at least that's what I believe.

Shutting down, am I locked in?
I am shutting myself off emotionally, questioning if I am trapped within my own mind.

Playing a game, I'm not allowed to win
I am engaging in a situation where I am not granted the opportunity to emerge victorious.

An argument, another fight
Once again, there is a disagreement leading to yet another conflict.

Looks like you're sleeping alone again tonight
It appears that you will be without company in bed tonight.

Is this real or can we make believe?
I question the authenticity of our situation, wondering if it is merely a fabrication.

Or is it something deeper- Something that I just don't want to see
Alternatively, could it be something more profound that I am deliberately avoiding acknowledging?

Expecting a change prepare for the worst
Anticipating a transformation, but mentally bracing myself for the worst outcome.

Waiting to see who would fuck it up first
Remaining in anticipation to discover who will be the first to ruin the situation.

It's just our fate, it's not too late
This is simply our destiny, and there is still time to make things right.

And we've been waiting for this
We have been longing for this moment.

One chance to lose control
A single opportunity to let go of inhibitions and surrender to the unknown.

Yeah, we've been waiting to let go
Yes, we have been yearning to release ourselves from the restraints.

But until then I'll bite my tongue while you run away
However, until that happens, I will keep quiet and hold my thoughts while you choose to escape.

You run away
You choose to flee from the situation.

Hopeful to say
I remain optimistic in expressing

This could fix itself and someday maybe
that there is a possibility for this to resolve on its own, possibly in the future.

We'll be ok, until then I'll bite my tongue while you run away
We will be fine eventually, but until that time, I will choose to stay silent while you choose to leave.

Hopeful to say, are you running away?
I express hopefulness but also question if you are indeed running away from the situation.

Hopeful to say
I maintain a hopeful perspective to express

This could fix itself and someday maybe
that there is a potential for this to mend naturally, perhaps in the future.

We'll be ok, but until then I'll bite my tongue
We will be alright eventually, but in the meantime, I will choose to stay silent.
